What happens

Love in the Time of Hysteria (Spanish: Sólo con tu pareja, lit. '"Only with your partner"') is a 1991 Mexican romantic comedy film produced, co-written and directed by Alfonso Cuarón, in his feature-length directorial debut. It stars Daniel Giménez Cacho and Claudia Ramírez. After Alfonso Cuarón and his brother Carlos Cuarón wrote the script, they needed to secure financing. The Mexican government's IMCINE (Instituto Mexicano de Cinematografía) had already decided what films they would finance that year. However, one of the projects was canceled and the IMCINE funds were assigned to Sólo con tu pareja. After the film was completed, the government refused to distribute it, but Sólo con tu pareja was presented at several international festivals. It won awards at the Ariel Awards (by the Mexican Academy of Film) and at the Toronto Festival of Festivals. After this international recognition the movie was finally shown in 1993 in its country of origin, where it became a box-office success. It occupies the 87th place on the list of the 100 best movies of the cinema of Mexico. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
