Dark Star Pictures will release Spanish director Ruth Caudeli’s Tribeca title “Petit Mal” in theaters Jan 27, 2023.
“Petit Mal,” written, directed and starring Caudeli alongside Silvia Varón and Ana María Otálora, will also be available on Jan 31, 2023.
Anto, Marti, and Lai are a throuple blissfully living together in a remote house, with nothing but their beloved bundle of dogs keeping them company. When Lai leaves for a work trip, the balance is thrown off and Marti and Anto must adapt to being just the two of them. Suddenly, the dreaminess of their secluded home becomes isolating, and all they have to rely on is each other. In the spirit of honest and vulnerable openness, this semi-autobiographical blend of documentary and fiction from writer-director Ruth Caudeli is an invitation to experience the intimate details, both unique and universal, of the ups and downs and shifting dynamics in a polyamorous relationship.
The pic, which screened Tribeca, Frameline and over 30 more worldwide, is a must-see one-of-a-kind LGBTQI release inspired by the filmmaker’s own life.
