Desconocidos (Strangers, in English) is a short film about a group of people in the same building.

A Primera Vista (At First Sight, in English) starts off with an old man on a bench. He looks around the area, sees a romantic couple, and is suddenly on the lookout for a potential lady friend. He meets a few women, but one in particular may try to catch his eye.

(For your viewing pleasure, this one has English subtitles. Interested in more sexy films? Or maybe you’d just want to see old people talk about “new positions”?) Continue Reading

They don’t seem to be related, really, but they somehow are. Will someone be fired again, then? Perhaps. Continue Reading
