Злая ночь
Executive Producer
Дана – проститутка, работающая на сутенера Нельсона, мечтающего создать нечто вроде секс-империи. Для этого он не гнушается никакими способами: от шантажа до похищения девушек, которые вынуждены работать на него в закрытом борделе. В этом отношении Дане повезло – она всего лишь вынуждена отдавать Нельсону часть своего заработка, который получает, трудясь «на вольных хлебах». Но в последнее время дела у девушки идут все хуже – прогрессирующая наркомания заставляет ее все ниже скатываться по социальной лестнице и терять денежных клиентов. В какой-то момент Дана не смогла принести своему хозяину еженедельную дань. В ответ Нельсон похищает ее дочь.

The silent walls
Cinematography
Every city has its secrets, but it is probably inside houses, behind their silent walls, where they are most intense and human. The Alabado House was built in 1671 as part of Quito’s colonial Old City, surviving centuries of earthquakes, poverty and decay. Over the past five years, dozens of manual laborers have been working to restore it. But its miraculous beauty conceals a long and tragic history. For it was the oppressed indigenous masses who built the Old City, the largest in Latin America.
