Margarita, Mexico 2015
A young filmmaker makes a documentary about the life of woman living in the streets of Mexico City.

La puerta abierta (The Open Door), Spain 2015
Rosa is a sex worker who inherited the profession from her mother, Antonia, who believes she is Sara Montiel and turns her daughter’s daily life into a living hell. Rosa does not know how to be happy, she cannot. The unexpected arrival of a new member to her peculiar (and absurd) family will give her a unique opportunity to find happiness.
