The Day Began Yesterday

About This Movie

The Day Began Yesterday is an intimate drama that explores the complexities of identity and connection. Orlando is this self-assured gymnast, really a contrast to Saul, who's quite the opposite—nervous, uncertain about his own sexuality, and grappling with his HIV-positive status. Their chance meeting unfolds slowly, allowing the audience to absorb the subtleties of their evolving relationship. The film's pacing feels deliberate; it gives space for those quiet moments that often speak louder than words. There's a raw honesty in the performances that really makes the characters' struggles resonate. The atmosphere is almost palpable, with a focus on human fragility and resilience, making it distinct in a crowded genre.
