Synopsis:
Rodolfo is a young bachelor doctor who has a love affair with a younger music student, Ramon. When Rodolfo’s mother begins to urge his son to get married, he quickly asks modern and open-mind Olga to become his wife. Ramon is heart-broken, but Dona Herlinda has the final solution to make everybody happy: She asks Ramon to live with her, near by Rodolfo and Olga. Everybody together forever.
Quick Thoughts:
I only discovered this Mexican queer gem recently and need to find time to watch it. While apparently a great queer film by itself, “Doña Herlinda and Her Son” was actually quite groundbreaking in 1985 as it was the first Mexican film to feature an openly gay couple!
