Screening of 'La bola negra', directed by Javier Ambrossi and Javier Calvo, about three gay lives across different eras, at Ciné Lumière.
La bola negra screens at Ciné Lumière on Sunday 8 November. It's a Spanish film directed by Javier Ambrossi and Javier Calvo, and it's coming to London via Altitude Film Distribution, who're handling the UK and EIRE release.
The story follows three gay men across different eras, their lives connected by themes of sexuality, desire, pain and inheritance. The filmmakers describe it as an exploration of what it means to be gay across different decades, with the three existences running through the film rather than as a single linear narrative. It's less about a specific plot and more about those recurring threads—desire and rejection—that tie the three lives together.

On screen you'll recognise Penelope Cruz, alongside Guitarricadelafuente and Miguel Bernardeau. The film carries a 15 certificate, so it's one for the adult crowd rather than a family afternoon. If you're planning to head over, the cinema is at 17 Queensberry Place, London, SW7 2DT, in South Kensington. It's a Sunday screening, so it's a good one to slot into a weekend if you're around the area.
