Animation
A feature-length documentary that delves into the life of an old spinster who, by convention, must be called señorita. Bound by rigid moral and family precepts, well-born ladies do not usually tell intimacies. However, the virgin - as the people of Xalapa have always called her - has agreed to confess and show her personal refuge, marked by solitude and the daily fulfillment of a sacrificial ritual.

The Cosmic Twins (Los Gemelos Cósmicos, in Spanish), an animated short film whose protagonists are inspired by sculptures by the artist Jorge Marín, is a multidisciplinary project that combines music, historical and epic stories through the new tools of the 21st century. This initiative incurs a new artistic language, which turns the level of the figurative into the conceptual, transforming the sculptures into animated puppets as a tribute, on the one hand, to the millenary tradition of the wayang kulit (Asian shadow theatre) that represents Hindu mythology, the Ramayama and the Mahabarata and, on the other, the Popol Vuh, a sacred book of Mayan literature. The short film tells the story of the brothers Hun and Vucub Hunahpú, who shake the universe playing ball. The theme of Cosmic Twins is based on one of the passages of the Popol Vuh that delves into the emergence of the world and the creation of man.
