El Día Después (The Morning After)

This short film is about a boss and her female employee talking about what happened last night. It's just a simple conversation, but their body language offer more than what their words have to offer. Cute.

La Mesa Servida (The Table Is Set)

This short film is about a man who steals pigs, supposedly to eat with his wife. Set amidst a town where very few people get to eat meat, this story goes from odd to downright silly as the days pass by.

Note: NSFW due to some sexual scenes, but what an ending.

Situación Idílica (Idyllic Situation)

This short film is about a guy who, laden by work, suddenly finds his desk clear of papers. Forays into a snow-filled world soon come around, too.

But seriously, if only work could go away just like that - beautiful.

La Loteria

This short film is about a man's green card, and the girlfriend he can choose to bring with him - provided he marries her. With beautiful shots, amusing back stories, and great storytelling, this short film made me smile and hope.

El Viaje (The Trip)

This award-winning short film features two boys stumbling upon a man who has, to put it as they have, "gone on a trip". With the story told in beautiful black-and-white, we look at the story of an overdosed drug addict through the eyes of these young kids. Such a hearty end note.

Contagiando Humanidad

This short film is about an old mailman and an old lady puppeteer he delivers mail to. It also introduces the concept of Teatro Lambe Lambe, which is "essentially a form of puppetry or shape animation that takes place inside a confined but easily transportable space, usually a box placed on a tripod that, normally, one spectator would watch at a time." (Definition taken from here.)

Simple, but cute.
