Highly-acclaimed story
The film Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe is written and directed by Aitch Alberto, which marks her directorial debut. It is produced by Lin-Manuel Miranda who is also behind the successful runs of Broadway musicals In the Heights and Hamilton.
It stars actors Max Pelayo, who plays Aristotle Mendoza, and Reese Gonzales, who portrays Dante Quintana.
The movie is based on the 2012 young adult novel of the same name. It is set in El Paso in Texas and follows the adventures of two queer Mexican boys as they come to terms with their sexuality, identity, and family affairs, all while struggling to fit in a discriminatory 1987 society.
The novel has been praised for its beautiful prose, nuanced characters, and sensitive portrayal of identity and coming of age. It has won several awards, including the Stonewall Book Award for LGBT literature, and has been translated into multiple languages.
In 2021, Sáenz published the much-awaited sequel of the novel Aristotle and Dante Dive into the Waters of the World, a continuation of Ari and Dante’s journey as they navigate the complicated realms of adulthood, romantic relationships, and the search for meaning and purpose in life.
