Originally commissioned by the Mexican Ministry of Education, Nicolás Pereda and Gabino Rodríguez’s hypnotically mysterious, hybrid object unravels and metamorphoses within the walls of a school. This oneiric journey from light to darkness is a gorgeously abstracted tale of childhood and healing.

The obsession with Narcos is an unexpected subject for the prolific director Nicolás Pereda, whose ninth feature shares with the drug-cartel drama the actor Francisco Barreiro. This droll look at dysfunctional families takes several unexpected swerves, to keep you, as in the show, on your toes.

This short feature from director Nicolás Pereda is a beautifully dreamy and enchanting work of indolent bohemian languor. Inspired by Last Year at Marienbad, the film sees three individuals in an apartment communicating through sleeping positions and books, creating a wonderful psalm of nostalgia.
