Casa Roshell is a space in Mexico founded by the trans activist Roshell Terranova. A small, intimate room with a stage sets the scene for performances, workshops, and lip-syncs. For its members, Casa Roshell is somewhere where they can assume an alternative gender role and explore their identity.

A young man is madly in love with his mother, until he discovers a horrible truth about her sexual behavior.

Luisa, a 25-year-old woman addicted to chiva (heroin), travels to a beach in the coastal State of Veracruz with the idea of quitting the drug once she gets there. Luisa eventually grows ties with the locals and in particular with Salomon, a 65-years-old peasant in whom she thinks to have found the aid she needs to fulfill her goal.

Rose's absence suddenly emptied the meaning that Damian had given to his own life. To evade the painful trance that grief imposes on him, Father Damián begins to flee. Thus he meets Bruno, a small-time thug, who demands the money that he left in the Father's custody in the past under threat of death.

A man in chains, a young man who dreams of being part of something, to become a militant for an armed group who must wield a cruelty in which he may not believe in. The characters, each voluntary or involuntary part of a mechanism that overcomes them, reveal their greatness or misery in the “minimum” tasks that they perform to survive. From that sometimes morbid poetry of the everyday and the irrefutable truth of the details, we see a country whose social body is sick and injured.

The friendship of Juan and Matita, two kids from different social backgrounds, and their brothers who won't allow this friendship.

A boy lives with an old man in a small house, he takes good care of him and watches sadistic cartoons on Tv. One day the old man dies, the kid is left alone.

When Gabino's father returns home after a long absence, the two men awkwardly attempt to re-establish a relationship; but Gabino and his mother quickly tire of this man who has become a stranger to them and decide to kick him out, before realizing that he has already left. Gabino eventually tracks his father down and spends time with him in his rundown apartment, trying to figure out if there is any possibility for the two of them to ever truly communicate. Though Greatest Hits continues Pereda's exploration of his perennial themes of absence, masculinity and the difficulty of maintaining a family, it opens up a whole new set of aesthetic questions through a bold formal gambit: halfway through, the entire narrative reboots and starts from scratch with another actor playing one of the key characters, leading to different iterations of events already witnessed.
