Fallen Fruit is a movie created by Chris Molina for the first time. It’s a funny, emotional and persuasive story about a young man who is lost at sea too early in his life.
The film is very interesting, drawing on the director’s own real life experiences, tells the story of 20-year-old Alex (Ramiro Batista does an amazing job here), a gay boy whose heart has been broken and returns to Miami from New York City. Florida was where he grew up; it brought him back as well as knocked him off balance emotionally due to some bad break-up there. His mother (Nicole Quintana) isn’t thrilled that he gave up his B.A in New York to come home after such devastating event although she does love him dearly along with Alex’s father (Ozzie Quintana); they just want their son back out into the world so he can learn how to fend for himself. Making matters worse: Sam (Krystal Millie Valdes), his childhood friend who is also his only confidante ever since forever announces one day that she got herself a job offer from California which means soon enough she’ll be leaving town forever. She and Batista are good together on screen these two actors have worked out everything there was between their characters over years of acting practice while script provided them with this naturalistic playground to breathe life into those roles.
After being fired from yet another new job within hours of starting it, our hero finds solace working at a gay rights organization where he meets potential “love at first sight” Chris (Austin Cassel exudes charm). Or maybe not so much love but rather vulnerability mixed with still rawness left behind by recent breakup…
One day feeling alone in the world again though surrounded by people everywhere around him including parents who love him unconditionally more than anything else could ever hope for or friends like Sam who knows every single thing about him since kindergarten Alex discovers father’s old camcorder (Ozzie Quintana). This device becomes his shrink and darling companion all at once as he tries to figure things out via self-recorded confessions not only himself but whoever may find them one day when he’s gone. And somewhere over Miami looms hurricane that carries away with it everything except self-defeating personality of young man unwilling to change even under circumstances life itself seems so desperate to impose upon him.
Rich in character and humanity is what Chris Molina accomplished with his piece of truth. It does not ask for pity or judge Alex. Sometimes we have to let them work it all out at their own pace, though they might be dear friends to us.
Refreshingly intimate for contemporary cinema, Fallen Fruit is a tender, honest work that pulses life into these words: emotion, truthfulness and heart.
