Bedtime Fairy Tales for Crocodiles

Running time: N/A

After winning several awards at international film festivals, director Ignacio Ortâ??z Cruz's critically applauded Bedtime Fairy Tales for Crocodiles arrives at Cinequest to wow audiences with its unique vision of life and death in Mexican territory. Upon learning that his father may be dying, Arcangel hurries back to his crumbling childhood home in a remote part of Mexico. Though suffering from insomnia and in danger of losing his family and career, he is determined to see him one last time. What he finds is not just a path to his past, but to the history of his family and country. With a touch of magical realism to rival the work of Gabriel Garcia Marquez, the film weaves a mesmerizing web of dreams, fantasies and emotions around one man's search for the truth behind his family's past. The results will stay with you long after the picture is over. - Fernando F. Croce
