Beautiful, interesting, incredible cinema.
MY MEXICAN BRETZEL
Synopsis
The intimate diary of a Swiss woman from a well-to-do background is illustrated through the homespun films of her husband, a wealthy industrialist, between the 1940s and 1960s. As the couple embark on their travels around the world, their story grows more unpredictable and improbable.

Our take
After the death of her grandfather, Nuria Gimenéz dives into his home movies to craft an evocative time capsule saturated with intrigue. Playfully teasing the relationship between sound and image, this found-footage hybrid upends expectations. Lies are just another way of telling the truth.
