Lúa and Noé's job is to select natural actors for a sci-fi movie. Working together for the first time, Noé, who comes from the countryside, doesn't think Lúa, an unemployed actress from the city, is the person for the job. Together they will travel to remote areas and make their provisional abode in the homes of the country people who take them in. Submerged in a foreign reality, they will encounter a Mexico that embraces them, but which also confronts them with their own fears and prejudices, testing their tolerance, their resistance and their fragility.

7.0In the remote village of El Echo that exists outside of time, the children care for the sheep and their elders. While the frost and drought punish the land, they learn to understand death, illness and love with each act, word and silence of their parents. A story about the echo of what clings to the soul, about the certainty of shelter provided by those around us, about rebellion and vertigo in the face of life. About growing up.
The Echo

7.8A woman is recruited to a prison controlled by organized crime while another woman searches for her missing daughter. Through images that submerges us in a journey from north to south Mexico, both testimonies collide and take us to the center of a storm: a country where violence has taken control of our lives, our desires and our dreams.
Tempestad
2017

The Empty Classroom
2015
A woman’s body on a bed. The camera follows her silhouette and slides out of the window to frame an urban landscape on the water’s edge. The sky and the sea share the horizon. A breath of freedom emerges from the images, like a dream in the shade of summer. A short effort made as part of the Pompeu Fabra film school, in Barcelona.
Sueño
2005
Dreams, voices that recount the violence in El Salvador, fights between gangs, mourning for the dead. And a feeling of fear that resonates in the words. On screen are girls, shown in the course of their daily lives, people who work, the details of their existence. A film that points at the deep disease of a society.
Ver, oír y callar
2015
NRAn arid landscape in which various people move around: a girl walks along holding a goldfish in a glass of water, children have fun with an empty bath tub, people at their window observe what’s happening. And finally, rain. Drought is treated with realism and oneirism in the filmmaker’s first work, made when she was still a film student.
