Chala is eleven years old, lives with his drug-addicted

When an Argentine industrialist is found dead at his home,

random crime.
Dust on the Tongue (Tierra en la lengua)
Fri May 1 - 11:00 AM / Sat May 2 - 9:30 PM
Despite family patriarch Don Silvio’s abusive behavior

two of his grandchildren to help him die.
Flowers (Loreak)
Thurs April 30 - 2:00 PM / Sat May 2 - 5:00 PM
Beñat expresses his secret love for the unhappily married

the only brightness in Ane’s life.

The Second Mother (Que horas ela volta?)
Thurs April 30 - 7:30 PM / Sat May 2 - 11:00 AM
Val is the kind of live-in housekeeper who takes her work
