Cariño is making us believe in love again!
A new animated short film is making us swoon.
Cariño, created by Carlos Taborda, Ashley Williams, and Roshel Amuruz, is described as "an LGBTQ love story about a boy trying to catch the attention of the one he admires." The three-minute film follows our hero on the search for a flower to give to his crush.
Taborda shared images from the film on Twitter, where it went viral. "I’m here to post about my thesis film Cariño, a canonically #gay short #film that takes place in the streets of Colombia," he wrote.
\u201cHello! I\u2019m here to post about my thesis film Cari\u00f1o, a canonically #gay short #film that takes place in the streets of Colombia, \n\nWhy support these queerbating corporations when there\u2019s #LGBT films by the community #Pride #animation #ArtistOnTwitter\u201d— \u0106 (@\u0106) 1623946056
Fans loved the film. "No way!! This melted my heart, Cartagena in the house, the scenography, the story. THIS IS EVERYTHING," one commenter wrote. "Thanks for this!"
\u201c@cmdrzate Hi, I'mfrom Cartagena. I cried with emotion within seconds of seeing your short film. I had never before seen myself or felt represented in any other artistic product. I saw myself walking through the center of Cartagena or sitting on the benches in a park with a boy.\u201d— \u0106 (@\u0106) 1623946056
