Running time: N/A
As part of our Focus on the Cinema of Mexico in our Global Landscapes program, Cinequest is privileged to introduce this exciting look at short films from Mexico. A series of ten visually captivating and inspiring tales have been concocted to entertain, challenge, and sometimes confuse-each with a distinct style and original vision. The assortment includes a dead guy who just doesn't understand that he's dead; a pregnant man on his way to the hospital to give birth; a lottery ticket that tests two men's friendship; a farmer and his unlikely best friend; and a couple's night of passion in the wedding suite. Like all of the films in our Focus on the Cinema of Mexico series, these films will find you laughing, weeping, and even wondering, but more than anything, you will be astonished as each marvelous and unpredictable story unfurls for you.
