MEXICO 2021

Director: Raúl Ramón

Comedy, Drama, Adventure, Family/ Spanish with English subtitles / 117 minutes

AWARDS: 3 consecutive Audience Choice Awards in Guadalajara, San Diego and Chicago Film Festivals.

Synopsis: Mexico, 1937. The people of the town of La Esperanza receive news of the closure of the Indian Mine, and no one could have suspected the devastating consequences. A few days later, they receive an announcement that the last train to the capital is departing and with it, the only means of communication with the outside world. Everyone flees the town except for a handful of residents who, guided by master mechanic Don Federico, plan to do the impossible and build a steam engine with their bare hands. A tribute to Mexican wit. Awarded the Alejandro Galindo Price for Best Screenplay, 2011 (IMCINE). Review by Vicente Leñero.
