La Bola Negra, the new film from Javier Calvo and Javier Ambrossi, takes its title from an unfinished play by Federico García Lorca.
It follows three gay men in 1932, 1937 and 2017, lives tied together by desire, grief and what gets handed down. Guitarricadelafuente makes his screen debut alongside Miguel Bernardeau, Carlos González and newcomer Milo Quifes, with Lola Dueñas, Penélope Cruz and Glenn Close. It has just spent a seventh straight weekend at No. 1 in Spain, with more than 5.7 million tickets sold.
