Unos cuentos de Angustias y Paisajes

Directed by Jose Morales

"La Sequía" describes the relationship of an indigenous couple living in the aridity of the northern countryside. The climatic factor is depicted as a visual metaphor of the society and the internal self of individuals. The dryness in the male character and the desolate landscape critiques the patriarchal system of that time. "Un Matoneado" tells the story of Gabriel’s revenge. His hate and wish of death turns into a big mistake. It is an example of the sociocultural context of the countryside people, and once again the patriarchal point of view of how one´s supposed to deal with problems "as a man".
