En el último trago (One for the Road)
Mexico, 2014. 
Three octogenarian friends, Emiliano, Benito and Agustin, band together for a road trip, defying family members, determined to honor Pedro’s final request. Along the way they have a series of poignant and comical adventures, bringing them a renewed sense of purpose and possibility in their golden years.

Matar a un hombre (To Kill a Man)
Chile, 2014. Jorge, a quiet, unassuming family man, suffers escalating taunts by a street thug named Kalule and his posse until one day they assault him. But Jorge remains passive; it’s his son who confronts the thugs – and gets seriously wounded. Kalule is convicted and sent to prison. Fast forward to two years later: Jorge’s marriage has fallen apart and Kalule is back to terrorize his family.
