Duck Season / Temporada dePatos

Spanish 90min Mexico 2004
Directed by Fernando Eimbcke

lama (Miranda) and Moko (Catano) are all set for a lazy Sunday without their mother in their Mexico City home. They've got their playstation, porn mags and the pizza is on its way. But life is not this easy. Ulises (Arreola), the pizza delivery boy, arrives 11 seconds later than the on-timeor-it's-free guarantee and refuses to leave before he's paid. Then their adorable and sassy neighbour Rita (Perea) knocks on their door. She needs to use their oven to bake her hash cakes.

Slowly each of the characters reveal themselves and their real worries come to the fore - divorcing parents, burgeoning sexuality and loneliness. This is a fresh comedy with striking, powerful dialogue and layered acting that belies it's simple exterior.

Starring:

Enrique Arreola, Diego Catano, Daniel Miranda, Danny Perea
