Rubio, Nacimos Llorando

Nacimos Llorando is a story about two best friends who have shared a lifetime and are now taking their first steps towards adulthood. It portrays a friendship that is twisted by teenage feelings, a friendly flirtation of a subdued fraternity. Through this story, we see the characters questioning themselves, where euphoria and impulsivity are poured towards desire, doubt, and the restlessness of naming oneself something different from the rest. They feel trapped in a claustrophobic and rural environment, seeking to break free from the monotony of their lives.

Fernando started making videos at the age of 12 with his father's tape recorder and has been obsessed with images ever since. This young Mexican director and photographer graduated from IBERO University with a degree in Communication and Advertising. We love Fernando's creative energy, inspired by music, colors, the human body and dance.
