Mariana Flores Villalba

The blazing heat of 90's summer in Buenos Aires raises the hormones of adolescent cousins who spend their vacations, like so many others, without doing much. Surrounded by a dysfunctional upper-middle-class family environment in decline, they play at mimicking assigned roles in their own family. This game takes them to a situation that puts them on the edge. Will they be discovered or will the family continue to see what it appears to be?

Your Voice is Within is a documentary short film based on the stories of women survivors of domestic abuse.

On an uninhabited island off the Mexican Pacific coast, members of the army do their uneventful duty. The film watches drills and everyday routines, but mainly the breaks which they spend playing board games in the shade of trees, in hammocks, swimming, flying kites or doing karaoke. The peaceful environment, however, does not hide the violent reality of their country which they are always confronted with, even out here.
