Director: Urzula Barba Hopfner
Cast: Naian González Norvind, Cristo Fernández, Carolina PolitiSYNOPSIS:

Set in the year 2000, the film charts her reluctant odyssey through the streets of her own neighborhood and through her fears.

Mistura (2025)
1 hour 41 minutes / Spanish with English subtitles
Director: Ricardo de Montruil
Cast: Barbara Mori, Christian Meier, Vanessa SabaSYNOPSIS:
Norma (Barbara Mori) had her life perfectly plated—fine dining, social status, and a front-row seat at Lima’s most elite tables. But when her husband’s betrayal leaves her emotionally starved, she turns to the kitchen, not to escape, but to rebuild. Immersing herself in the bold, layered flavors of Peruvian street food and traditional cooking, she discovers that healing is slow-cooked. Mistura is a cinematic feast about class, culture, and second chances, where every dish has a backstory and every ingredient carries meaning. Ricardo de Montreuil crafts a film for those who know that food isn’t just nourishment, it’s resistance, memory, and rebirth.

Las Mutaciones (2025)
1 hour 48 minutes / Spanish with English subtitles
Director: Jorge Ramírez-Suárez
Cast: Tony Dalton, Mónica Del Carmen, Vicky Araico, Verónica LangerSYNOPSIS:
After a sudden surgery robs him of his ability to speak, labor rights lawyer Raúl must renegotiate his life, his family, and his identity—now through silence. His only outlet becomes an obscene parrot, gifted by the housekeeper, that strangely becomes his voice. Las Mutaciones is a tragicomic exploration of masculinity, family dysfunction, and the absurdity of language itself. Ramírez-Suárez crafts a story both surreal and deeply grounded, reflecting how the loudest transformations often happen in silence.

El Club Perfecto (2025)
1 hour 32 minutes / Spanish with English subtitles
Director: Ricardo Castro
Cast: Rodrigo Munguía, Gabriel Fritsch, Daniela MartínezSYNOPSIS:
When opposites Mirko and Diego clash in a high school fight, neither expects it to lead to the formation of the most legendary exam-stealing ring their classroom has ever seen. El Club Perfecto is a smart, energetic teen comedy that taps into the mischief, rebellion, and strange alliances of adolescence. Beneath its antics, the film reveals something more poignant: that identity often gets forged in the most unexpected places—like a desk drawer full of test answers.
