“Amore y Matemáticas” (Mexico) is directed by Claudia Sainte-Luce (“The Amazing Catfish”), who delivers a droll, offbeat comedy about glories past, consumerism and breaking away from social norms. Back in the day, Billy Lozano (Roberto Quijano) used to be in the one-hit boy band Equinoccio. In present day he is a suburban stay-at-home dad, taking care of his newborn child, occasionally dealing with old fans and taking part in his brother’s get-rich-quick schemes. But when his neighbor from across the street, … a former fan herself … encourages him to resume his music career, Billy finally begins to see a way out of his doldrums.
