FRI 3/8 / 8:00/ S2
Dir. Raúl Fuentes
(Mexico, 90 min., 2012, Spanish w/ English subtitles)
Raúl Fuentes’ debut film examines the turbulent emotional perspective of a woman caught in a vicious self-destructive cycle. Alejandra, a condescending intellectual with many emotional problems, lacks the capacity to connect with anyone around her. When she meets Maria, an evolving and curious private school teen, the two start a passionate love affair that makes their generation gap seem trivial. This daring love story is both poetic and deeply humanistic.
