Seattle Premiere!
(Nicolás Pereda, 2007, Mexico/Canada/France, 35mm, 73 min) Vicente is a young man living with his grandmother in a small community in the Mexican State of Puebla. One day his uncles return from the US to visit the sick, old woman. Suspecting that she is near death, they try to sell her property without her permission. Trying to prevent the unauthorized sale, Vicente consults the mayor who suggests he seek help from the ministerial office in Mexico City. In the big city Vicente will face a new reality, estranged people, and an impenetrable legal system. Pereda's debut feature shows an elegant and understated style, capturing the enormity of family conflicts without relying on familiar dramatic territory. Winner of the Best Feature Film Award at the Morelia International Film Festival.
