It's Your Fault poster
6.5

Are we what others see, or are we what we allow others to see? Most likely it is the view of others which delimits our own identity, as a young divorced mother named Julieta convinces herself. This evening is like any other: her two young sons are roughhousing in their cramped apartment. They whoop and shout while their mother makes desperately futile attempts at the computer to concentrate on writing a report for work. Feeling intense pressure, Julieta tries to quiet the conflict but finds it difficult without a partner to help. The tense situation changes unexpectedly when her two-year-old falls and hurts himself. In this story of a mother suspected of hurting her own child, the movie investigates themes of motherhood, guilt, duty, the role of men and women, fathers and mothers

Meanwhile poster

Violeta asks Mono for "a little time" to decide what to do with her partner. Eva arrives in the city ready to do anything to change her life. Meanwhile is the story of "a time," of that time that passes while several stories intertwine in a dizzying puzzle that never quite fits together. A moving description of stories that are woven together by chance, an ensemble account of the uncertainty, despair, boredom, love, and heartbreak that weave urban relationships, a dramatic comedy about the bonds that make up life in the city.
