Storia
El baile de los 41 (The Dance of the Forty-One) is a historical drama film directed by David Pablos, set in early 20th-century Mexico. The movie is based on the true story of an illegal police raid that took place in November 1901 in a private home in Mexico City. During this raid, it was discovered that a group of men were attending a secret party where some of them were dressed in feminine clothing. Among these attendees were prominent figures from high society, including the son-in-law of the incumbent President of Mexico.
Riassunto
El baile de los 41 is a historically significant film that explores the first public acknowledgement and discussion of homosexuality in Mexican media. The incident, known as the Ball of the Forty-One, was a scandal that had a lasting impact on Mexican culture. Despite efforts by the government to suppress the story, the press exposed it due to the influential status of those involved. The film delves into the societal norms and expectations of the time, highlighting the prejudice faced by the LGBTQ+ community even among the upper echelons of society.
