IN PERSON FILM The Divine Tragedy is a bold, emotionally rich LGBTQ+ drama that explores what happens when love ends—and reinvention begins. The film follows Cristián, a refined and traditional gay man whose carefully constructed world is shattered when his wealthy husband Carlos abruptly abandons him after a 24-year relationship. Suddenly forced to rebuild his life from the ground up, Cristián finds himself living with his half-brother Roy, a wild, sexually hedonistic free spirit who seems to embody everything Cristián fears and resents. As their clashing lifestyles spark conflict, humor, and unexpected intimacy, the two men are pulled into a complicated reckoning with identity, family, and the messy truth of desire. Directed by Sergio Tovar Velarde and written by Orlando Manrique and Velarde, The Divine Tragedy features standout performances by Artús Chávez, Pablo Gómez, and Eduardo España—delivering a story that is as provocative as it is deeply human. “A funny, tender, and unabashedly sexy exploration of love, heartbreak, and family bonds—The Divine Tragedy brings humor and heart to the journey of two very different brothers learning to coexist.”
