Horoscopo (Horoscope)

This is a fun little film with a fun narrator talking about a man, a woman, and their supposed differences due to their horoscopes.

Cute. Also NSFW.

Prescindibles (Dispensable)

This short film deals with a guy just trying to do his job, and yet he is made to take consequences for it. I understand that during hard times, sacrifices must be made. Poor guy, though.

Surprising (but awesome) endnote.

Sígueme

This one's a film about two men, a woman, and a special relationship. Features a sex scene (NSFW-worthy), and homosexuality comes to play here. I got a little surprised by the turn of events, but hey - it's a sign of the times.

This was said to have won an award at the Madrid International Gay and Lesbian Film Fest.

Pensar Eterno (Eternal Thought)

This may sound like an infomercial at times, but it's an interesting look into the life of a mom dealing with her child - a child diagnosed with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).

Suffice to say that I learned a little something about the mental disorder, and have since taken care not to use the term "OCD" so carelessly.


*There are English subtitles for this, which you can enable as captions on the video.

Jesusito De Mi Vida (Dear Child Jesus)

An award-winning drama-packed film about a little boy fervently praying for Jesus to take away his fear. What an interesting end note.

Contra El Mar (Against The Sea)

This touching story of a young family living by the sea brought tears into my eyes.
