The Prado and the Moon

About this title

A tribute to the director's uncle, Antonio Gómez, who became head designer at Valentino after fleeing from a father who wouldn’t accept his homosexuality. He never received the recognition he deserved. He died of AIDS in 1991, just as he was beginning to make a name for himself on his own. While going through his belongings, the director found an unfinished film script that he feels is about him. This documentary is a cathartic journey in search of who his uncle truly was. As a family, they = filmed the movie he couldn’t finish in his lifetime.
