Xavi Giménez  is renowned for his cinematography on many big movies including The Machinist (Christian Bale) and more recently Agora (Rachel Weisz) but no w he makes his directoral debut with CRUZANDO EL LÍMITE (Yellow). I dont have much info on it but it does look very impressive especially for a debut feature, very gritty and the boot camp type drama, maybe like a das experiment for young adults . The movie will be out sometime this year in Spain and if Spain is anything like Hollywood it could be within the next 3 months.

Luis is the single father of sixteen year old Fran. Father and son are both going through a rough patch. In a desperate attempt to salvage their relationship Luis has taken a dramatic decision: to enroll his son in an “education” center.

Although Luis believes he is doing the right thing, the truth is he doesn’t know everything he should about the school’s methodology. Outraged by his father’s betrayal, Fran will do his best to show everyone at the school that he is not about to give in. But the school’s specialty is precisely to fight that kind of behavior.

Outside, Luis can’t help but wondering if he’s done the right thing; inside, Fran is going through a Guantanamo-like experience. Father and son have never been further apart.
