Two Embraces

Directed by Enrique Begné

With Giovani Florido, Maya Zapata, Jorge Zárate, Ximena Sariñana and Alan Andree

Four lonely and disenfranchised urbanites in contemporary Mexico City: a preteen boy under tremendous emotional strain, the pretty cashier with whom he is infatuated, an enraged and embittered cabbie, and the estranged daughter of one of his fares. Per the film's title, these characters pair off, finding unexpected hope and salvation in one another.
