Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe - trailer
Produced by Lin-Manuel Miranda and adapted from the celebrated young adult novel by Benjamin Alire Saenz, this joyful romance follows two boys on the cusp of manhood and their blossoming relationship in late-'80s Texas. A once-in-a-lifetime connection develops when teenage loner Aristotle (Max Pelayo) meets artist Dante (Reese Gonzales) poolside in the summer of 1987. They become one another's closest friend, bonding over their shared background and unique names. But after a magical summer, Dante has to move away, and his letters to Ari will complicate the dynamic between them. With tender performances, Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe is a beautiful, multilayered exploration of first love and self-acceptance that casts a beguiling spell.
