- Lessons for Zafirah records the faces and gestures that congregate around the train "The Beast", which represents the symbolic vehicle of escape for thousands of migrants who travel to the United States. Through testimonies, the film captures the participation of people in Mexico who voluntarily provide assistance to migrants: the Women of La Patrona and Father Solalinde. The film's images are shared with the director's three-year-old daughter - called Zafirah - as a tale about the era in which we live. With a critical and joyful touch, the directors paint a bleak, but also a universal, portrait of human greatness - inviting the viewer to transform his or her view of migrants.
- An extraordinary black comedy that explores the limits of survival and absurdist political power games. The story takes place in times of elections in Mexico. A candidate for Governor runs over a pregnant migrant. After the accident, and to avoid a possible scandal, he hides her in a building he owns. Pressured by his political boss and so as not to ruin his political career, the candidate evicts the migrant. In a non-realistic style, the film focuses on the stories that surround the migrant during her search for a room. A radical film, with a critical gaze, that reflects the spirit of contemporary Mexican society.
