DICHOS
DICHOS is a comedy web series about Latin American expressions. Because a “saying" in any language never has a literal translation in another, each episode presents absurdist stories that describe their spirit and essence. DICHOS attempts to translate the untranslatable. In the first episode, a soft-spoken woman finally asserts herself before her colleagues.

Sisters’ Busy Hands
“Sister’s Busy Hands” is a story of two women struggling against their fates. It demonstrates the happiness and sadness of people’s lives with a hint of black humor. These women may be someone you find familiar with. They may not have a so-called successful life, but I think that it is precisely through depicting those unusual moments within our ordinary lives that makes me a filmmaker.

From the reflection in the mirror, an icy wind assails her. The vision of an insane gesture dawns. Everything falls apart. The bathtub is an ocean in which to sink, but... a distant, familiar faint sound saves her from the abyss.

Two regular people (Marc and Stella) and four people with a disability have locked themselves in an abandoned office building where they seek protection against the danger from outside.
