FILMS SHOWING IN LOCAL THEATERS

	Bitter Christmas		Bitter Christmas tells two alternating stories, one starring Elsa, an advertising director, in 2004, during a long weekend in December. The second takes place in 2026 and stars Raúl, a screenwriter and director who is writing a script that we soon discover is the story of Elsa, her boyfriend Bonifacio, and her friends Patricia and Natalia. Mixed with fiction, Elsa is, in a way, Raúl’s alter ego, who, like him, resorts to autofiction as a solution to a long period of creative drought. He looks inside himself, and he can’t help but also look at the people who make up his most intimate universe: his partner and his assistant. The film narrates the close relationship between reality and fiction, between inspiration and life, exploring the limits of autofiction and stories within stories.

	The Gymnasts of Fisherman Colony		In a place where many families lack citizenship and where girls’ futures are strictly predetermined by early marriage, an unlikely gymnastics program becomes a doorway to something extraordinary. At the center of the film is Sonia, whose turbulent journey to compete against some of the country’s top young gymnasts in the National Women’s Gymnastics Competition carries the hope of opening new doors not only for herself, but for her family as well.

Songlian is drawn into the orbit of her rivals, each shaped by years of fighting for the same scraps of attention. Determined at first to rise above the games, Songlian is gradually worn down by isolation and humiliation until she strikes back, trading secrets and favors to secure her place in Master Chen’s hierarchy.
