Frida and Emiliano are having an affair. After spending an evening together he asks for more than she is willing to give. Her negative to his desires has tragic consequences for her, as it does for too many women in Mexico. NO isn’t the story of Frida, but of all women who’ve been victims of gender violence. NO it’s a mirror, a desperate howl.
DIRECTOR
Bruno Manguen Sapiña
Back in 2010, and purely driven by intuition, Manguen Sapiña directed his first short film in his natal Mexico City. He continued writing and directing short films, studied photography, enrolled into every filmmaking workshop available to him and worked as first A.D in over 90 TV commercials. He earned the filmmaking masters program in the Academy of Media Arts Cologne, Germany. There he was awarded with the DAAD PROMOS Scholarship to do an exchange semester in Emerson College, Boston, USA. Specialised in screenplay and narrative directing he graduated with honours in October 2019. He is currently developing his first feature, a hyper-expressionistic tragedy that plays in Mexico City.
