As part of the New York Latino Film Festival (NYLFF), La bachata de Biónico [Bionico’s Bachata], dircted by Yoel Morales (Dominican Republic) will be screened on September 20, 2024, at 8:00pm, at Regal Union Square (850 Broadway, corner of 13th Street, New York). It is described as “A raw vision of love in a hostile Caribbean city” that “follows a hopeless romantic, addicted to crack, who must take control of his life if he wants to marry the woman he loves.”
Description: Bionico is a hopeless romantic addicted to crack, who, along with Calvita, his drug partner, tries to find a job, a house, and a wedding ring to marry La Flaca, his fiancée. But most importantly, he must quit drugs and stay clean by the time she comes out of the rehabilitation center where she’s detoxing, a mission impossible for him. It’s a love story, a tale of failed relationships, and the importance of friendships.
