Sophía Carrillo | Mexico | 2008 | 12 min
Wealthy teenager Lala (XXY’s Ines Efron) is in love, but it’s safe to say her parents won’t approve of her choice: the object of her affections is the family’s feisty young Paraguayan housemaid, Ailin (Mariela Vitale). Based upon Puenzo’s own novel, this twisty and atmospheric tale takes the two girls from the realm of blissful romantic fantasy into an all-too-real world of crime, violence and sexual jealousy.
Screening with:
Fuera de Control

But I was not dreaming...although I did fall asleep.
El Nino Pez contains all of those things and still manages to be duller than an evening with me cataloguing my Morrissey records. Honestly.
However while it may been dull you did get some beautiful cinematography, solid performances and an idea for a really good film...maybe for once the remake will be better?
