Disculpe las molestias

Duck Season

Flama and Moko have everything necessary to survive another boring Sunday: videogames, porn, soft drinks, pizza delivery, and no parents at home. But along comes their neighbor Rita, the pizza guy Ulises, the light company, the soccer game, chocolate brownies, and a horrible duck painting, all conspiring to interrupt their bliss, confronting them with the frustrations of adult life, divorce, loneliness, and romantic confusion.

Club Sándwich

Paloma and her son Héctor are on vacation at a hotel by the beach. His activities, which are very similar to those of past years, consist of sunbathing, eating club sandwiches and squeezing his zits. But 14-year-old Héctor’s sexual awakening and his encounter with 16-year-old Jazmín will change the dynamics of the mother–son relationship.
