MovieDramaRomance
A hazardous encounter leads América and Juan Pedro to recognize in each other the unsuspicious emotion of the first love. Young and innocent identified with their artistic devotion -he is a composer, she a dancer- they overstep the bound of their shared feeling, joyful and without great fears. They never imagined that their openhearted and pure love could hide a stain: that of racial prejudice.

MovieDramaMystery
Tierna es la Noche is a film without bullets nor sea, without mosquitoes, without peasants nor flowers. It only contains a barman, a man and a beautiful woman who lives in a bathroom. For commercial reasons, we have included two policemen, a drop of blood and a multilingual nymphomaniac. For aesthetic reasons, a tear and a black man. For both reasons, the film takes place anachronically, during the fifties and nineties in a make-believe city called Caracas. It's a story of histerics, like all stories, unfinished.
