Past Run
The Empty Hours
Written & directed by Aarón Fernández Lesur (“Used Parts”). On the desolate coast of Veracruz, Mexico, 17-year-old Sebastián takes over running his uncle’s small, cozy rent-by-the-hour motel. There all by himself much of the time, he meets Miranda, a regular customer who comes to the motel to meet a lover who always keeps her waiting. Together with time to kill, Sebastián and Miranda begin to get to know each other, and an ambiguous game of seduction begins between them. Official selection of the 2013 San Sebastian Film Festival.
“A delight...working with grace and patience, Mr. Fernandez makes the mundane captivating.”
— Jeannette Catsoulis, New York Times
