Drama/Mex
Over the course of two days, three stories simultaneously unfold before a desolate Acapulco backdrop. An old man, Jaime (Fernando Becerril), contemplates suicide and stirs up trouble at work. Fernanda (Diana Garcia) has a reencounter with her ex-boyfriend Chano (Emilio Valdés), and puts her current relationship at risk. And 15-year-old runaway Tigrillo (Miriana Moro) struggles for survival after joining a dangerous gang. Writer-director Gerardo Naranjo, a Mexican free spirit with a disregard for rules and authority, makes this film his own way; handheld visuals, out-of-focus shots, and other imperfections give DRAMA/MEX a truly genuine, human feel.
