A series of one night stands, strange encounters, and bizarre pickups leads him into a miasma of confusion and doubt. He thinks he has discovered love in Bruno (Juan Carlos Torres), but wakes up to find his partner inexplicably vanished. Gerardo wanders the streets of Mexico City, seeing flashes of his ex in all the male bodies he encounters. With a Dear John letter in hand, he struggles find the hidden meaning in this written rejection. The meaning of love, or lack thereof, haunts him as he searches for connection to humanity. The strength of this picture, which was an official selection at Sundance Film Festival and winner of the Teddy aware at Berlin, is upheld by profoundly artful B&W cinematography by Diego Arizmendi.

Reviews for A Thousand Clouds Of Peace
Mr. Hernández's attempt to put an interior landscape on film a la Pasolini may seem stultifying and pretentious, but it's also a brave dark experiment.
Hernandez's desire to utilize all the armaments of the filmmaker hits the viewer with a visceral force.
Self-indulgent in the extreme, Julian Hernandez's laconic ode to heartbreak feels like the work of a lovelorn teenager.
Works principally as a mood piece, with the gorgeous cinematography doing much of the heavy lifting.
Enduring this black-and-white mood piece from Mexico is like putting up with an acquaintance who drones on and on about the pain of an unrequited love.
All the stylistic flourishes can't hide the lack of an actual plot, character development, or point.
