El Chemo and El Chayote are two men bound by loyalty and survival in a region controlled by violence and fear. When a ruthless act known as “La Quemazón” ignites a deadly conflict, they find themselves at the center of a growing war between rival forces. As retaliation spreads and alliances begin to fracture, both men must navigate betrayal, power struggles, and the consequences of decisions that threaten to destroy everything around them. With tensions rising and no clear way out, El Chemo and El Chayote are forced to confront the true cost of loyalty in a world where fire is used as a message — and survival comes at a price.

Mother-Child

In shades of gray, the calm, static shots show young female visitors to a public hospital in Argentina. This is the place where teenage girls have to make a decision about the new life growing inside them. A few of them have, at a very young age indeed, already had children. For others, the idea of a future as a mother is new and terrifying. In many cases, though, having an abortion isn’t a decision to be taken for granted. Some of the girls have learned from childhood that getting pregnant is your own fault, and you have to accept the consequences. What they know about abortion comes from horror stories of clandestine practices in backstreet clinics. The hospital gynecologists and other staff, who can be heard but not seen, ask the girls about their well-being, their relationship, their family ties, and how they see the future—with or without a child. In these intimate and non-judgmental conversations, the girls respond with powerful candor in their most vulnerable moments.

The thaw

Animated short film painted with oil on transparent acetate. This project is about the poetic instant. Just as a Haiku, it cannot be defined as such only by its metric; an instant cannot be defined according to its duration. The duration of an instant is similar to the vibration of a note, it passes through our body and leaves a resonance; we don't know when it starts or when it ends. The moment dissolves and makes way, but leaves a trail in its path. The instant is poetic because it is situated between what we don't have and what is escaping from us.
