An impossible coming-of-age romance told in black-and-white photos between Molly, a 21-year-old American, and Diego, a Mexican in the throes of puberty. Jonás Cuarón began taking photographs throughout a single year, spontaneous images of friends and family in their everyday lives, and later developed the film's narrative writing dialogue and off-camera pondering.
Jonás Cuarón (Mexico City, 1983) studied fine art at Vassar College, New York. His other films include Un disparejo (2003) and The Shock Doctrine (2007) made with his father, filmmaker Alfonso Cuarón, and based on a book by Naomi Klein. Año uña is his debut feature film.
