Juan Con Miedo (Fearful John)

This short film about two kids, an old legend, and a haunted house is creepy, and really rather curious. Is the legend real or not?

Well, either way, fact is usually stranger than fiction.

El Orden De Las Cosas (The Order of Things)

This dramatic short film about a woman and her husband's belt is almost heart-breaking. The subtle hint of domestic abuse rings throughout the film, and the story-telling for it has been done well.

Fitting ending, but oh, how sad it is.

Diez Minutos (Ten Minutes)

A short film about a call center agent and her desperate customer. Pulls some heartstrings. Also made me think about the info we willingly give up to a stranger's picking.

Notably: Won the Goya Award for Best Fictional Short Film in 2004. (LMGTFY)
