The Trace of Your Lips
Alternative title: La huella de unos labios

Directed by Julián Hernández

Román, a movie actor, is confined to his apartment during a global pandemic. Across the complex, Aldo, an indigenous essential worker, can move freely. They connect online, chatting and video calling, but can't meet in person. Eventually, the urge to break quarantine becomes irresistible.
The Trace of Your Lips is a sensual, pandemic-era Mexican drama about two neighbours whose isolation gradually becomes intimacy. Julián Hernández uses bodies, windows and confined spaces with characteristic visual confidence, creating a film that is both erotic and melancholy.
