Sinopsis
A principios del siglo XX, una familia tiene que mudarse a Londres desde la campiña inglesa donde siempre han residido, debido a que el padre es falsamente acusado de vender secretos de estado a los rusos, y es encarcelado durante 5 años. Sus tres hijos, Roberta, Peter y Phyllis, pasan el tiempo viendo ir y venir los trenes y saludando a los pasajeros con la mano. Así es como traban amistad con un anciano señor que siempre toma el tren de las 09:45, y que ayudará a la familia a probar la inocencia del padre.
José, autoritario, coleccionista de trajes militares, pobre de espíritu. Fernando, perseguidor incansable de la unión mística con Dios. Juan, escritor de cartas enloquecidamente eróticas. La madre hidrópica, nostálgica de antiguos esplendores. Las niñas que, entre juegos, encuentran muñecas enterradas y torturadas. Y en medio de esta atmósfera tan extraña e inquietante está Ana, la institutriz inglesa de 25 años.
When a schoolboy's day-dream of a fantasy sports day includes events where acts of vandalism and trespass are required, dire consequences ensue. Originally created as an educational film, this somewhat surrealist short has a serious message at its core. This won't be a lesson you'll forget in a hurry.
Lizuca is only six years old, not much older than her pet dachshund Patrocle, when her mother dies and she is left to live with her grandparents on their farm. Before long, Lizuca's father comes to take her away to live with him and his new bride, a vile woman who considers children the bane of all existence. Lizuca and the dachshund escape the wicked stepmother and spend the night in a hollow tree, a tree that changes into an enchanted land where Lizuca (like Alice through the Looking Glass) discovers a world of characters in the form of bees, frogs, the four seasons, Snow White, her dwarves, and other fairy tale creatures. This magic place is threatened by the evil stepmother's plan to sell the grove that protects the secret land to developers -- a decision that puts the woman on trial before this perfidy can be realized.
