Thara
Producer
Thara is a trans woman and sex worker living in Honduras. In spite of prejudice and violence, she risks everything in order to be herself- even in the face of the monstrous dangers that stalk the night.
Young and Wild
Third Assistant Director
Daniela, raised in the bosom of a strict Evangelical family and recently unmasked as a fornicator by her shocked parents, struggles to find her own path to spiritual harmony.
The Lifeguard
Assistant Editor
Mauricio, a lifeguard on a Chilean beach, considers himself to be a model of efficiency and professionalism. His colleagues, however, think otherwise, and speculate on why he never goes into the water. Maite Alberdi's visually gorgeous feature documentary debut has the intensity of a short story; beginning as a quirky character study of lifeguards and beachgoers, it becomes something altogether darker and more shocking when events take a dramatic turn.
