Description

Once a teen pop star and now in his mid-30s, Billy (Roberto Quijano) has crashed back down to earth, trapped in the velvet cage of a boring, upper-middle-class life. A stay-at-home dad, he spends his days lounging around and caring for his newborn baby while his wife flourishes in a successful corporate career. Change arrives with new neighbor Monica, a mega-fan of Billy’s boy band who had a huge crush on him back in the day. Through the pair’s comedic and awkward exchanges, Billy regains his confidence and dives back into his music, starting with finishing his romantic ballad, “Love and Mathematics.” Quijano won the best actor award for his performance at the Havana Film Festival New York.
