Sublime is a thoughtful and tender handling of a teen’s emerging sexuality. Shy 16-year-old Manuel (Martín Miller) comes alive when he, his best friend Felipe (Teo Inama Chiabrando) and other buddies form a garage rock band. The two boys, friends since childhood, have a close, easy relationship made even more intense with the band and their music making. Strains develop for Manuel when his best mate starts dating a girl. Manuel also begins to date a female classmate, yet all the while suppressing his nascent sexual feelings for Felipe. Confused, and fearful that his feelings are not mutual, he retreats into himself, eventually lashing out which forces him to confront his feeling head on. A sensitive feature debut with this sweet, queer, coming-of-age drama.
"Selected for the Berlin Film Festival, Sublime is an Argentine LGBTQIA+ coming-of-age film and the feature directorial debut of Mariano Biasin, an experienced assistant director. It’s a simple story, but one told with elegance: two friends and bandmates share an unbreakable bond, but it’s tested by a girl... and an unexpected attraction between them. It’s a sensitive and authentic film, offering a fresh twist on a subgenre that typically sees little innovation."
