This Friday the first Spanish film of 2010 will be released, entitled «The Consul of Sodom », a biography of the poet Jaime Gil de Biedma that, honestly, I don't think will draw many viewers into theaters.

The synopsis of The Consul of Sodom is:
"The Consul of Sodoma" is a journey through the life of Jaime Gil de Biedma (1929-1990), one of the most influential poets of the second half of the XNUMXth century. His life is the story of a contradiction: on the one hand, he belongs to the gentry and is the executive of a major multinational; on the other, he lives his facet as a poet and homosexual, who rebels against his family and historical environment.
