Cock’s Quickie

Huachindango is the small capital of a small Central American country. In this city, women must enter rooms managed by “The System” at different times in their lives, where there are different types of sexual assault. No woman in Huachindango escapes from entering, at one or more moments in her life, to these rooms. There is one room that is the most feared of all: Cock’s Quickie.

Days of Light

This beautifully integrated, multi-threaded narrative seamlessly interweaves six stories set in radically different locations across Central America, ranging from the tropical forests of Guatemala to the skyscrapers of Panama City. When a solar storm leaves the region without power, myriad dramas unfold over the course of five days during which all conveniences of modernity are stripped away. In Costa Rica, a pastor and his daughter worry for the future of their church, while in El Salvador, a grandmother and grandson make an arduous journey into the city. A husband and wife reconnect in Honduras, as a young couple nurses a mysterious stranger back to health in Guatemala. Meanwhile, in Nicaragua, a young woman prepares for her quinceañera and in Panama, a housekeeper grows exasperated with her demanding employer.
