The queer teen love story Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe stars Max Pelayo and Reese Gonzales. The film, which is directed by Hara Kiri's Aith Alberto, is based on Benjamin Alire Saenz's acclaimed YA bestseller about two Mexican American teenagers who forged a life-changing bond in the late 80s in Texas.

It follows the chance meetup of the 15-year-old Aristotle Mendoza (Pelayo), who feels resentful of the world, and his exact opposite, Dante Quintana, who is as free-spirited as one comes.

Dante's artistic spirit disrupts Ari's lonely existence, and the film continues with the two embarking on a summer adventure that would change their view of the world and themselves.

The film's official synopsis reads:

"Mexican teenagers Aristotle Mendoza and Dante Quintana explore their friendship while struggling with racial and ethnic identity, sexuality, and family relationships in 1987 El Paso, Texas."

The movie is set in the year 1987 in El Paso, Texas, and follows two Mexican American teenagers, Aristotle "Ari" Menzoda and Dante Quintana. The two, who have different personalities, which, one would think, are unlikely to develop friendship, had a chance meeting at a public swimming pool during the summer.

Despite being loner and happy in his own world, Ari becomes friends with Dante, and it's the start of their friendship as the two spend all their time together over the summer.

However, something puts an abrupt halt in their summer adventure, and distance develops but also a chance for both of them to understand themselves and their feelings for when they meet again.
