The film tells the story of a tree that during the course of the year receives a rather radical pruning of its foliage. In the course of this simple story we go through the four seasons of the year; The transfer from season to season is accentuated by the music, as well as by the change of colors from silent grays of the winter to vivid green in the summer. The comic effect in the film is achieved by the contrast between the lazy and sleepy character of the tree and the active and jumpy character of the barber.

Juanito, a boy passionate about cinema, finds refuge in movies while the Spanish Civil War tears his world apart. The son of pacifist parents, he grows up in a home marked by ideals of peace and the daily struggle against poverty and his mother's illness. Along the way, he forges a bond with international brigadistas who also share his love for the seventh art. But the reality of the conflict forces him to make a difficult decision that will transform his life, closing the doors to childhood and leading him toward a maturity marked by pain and learning, where cinema remains his beacon in the darkness.

La Mesa

Experimental exploration of memory, identity and queer desire. It recreates fragmented and romanticised stories of a childhood in rural Mexico as told by the filmmaker’s father. These disjointed vignettes are interwoven with queered reenactments of scenes from popular culture. The filmmaker casts himself in the old Mexican films and American Westerns he grew up watching with his family in California. He appears as the romantic lead opposite the male actors, including Pedro Infante, Mexican national hero and the filmmaker’s childhood crush. By centring queer desire in his family’s history, Garcia Gomez validates his childhood experiences while challenging popular representations of masculinity as well as traditional notions of power and vulnerability.
