The Beginning Of Time (El Comienzo Del Tiempo)
Running time: N/A
They love their son, no matter how long they must wait to see him again. Time seems to travel at its own pacesometimes you get what you want when you want it, but other times gratification is years in the making. For loving, elderly couple Antonio and Bertha, it's the latter. But no matter how many years pass, they'll hold on to hope of seeing their son again. One day, in the midst of financial crisis, their beloved son passes by their makeshift tamale stand. He doesn't stay long, but he leaves behind a gift: their grandson. Tender and timely, The Beginning of Time contrasts the optimism of the oft-forgotten elderly with the unmotivated youth against a backdrop of political and social unrest in modern-day Mexico. - Nina Zheng Preceded by the short film: 6 Meses de Garanita; PTP Short; 2min.
