Gabriel Mariño : 2012
A Secret World
María's last day of class marks the start of a journey. She'll cross Mexico but doesn't really know why. What she does know is that it isn't a fun trip. She knows it's not something to write home about, it's something else, it's a journey that began in the depths of her dreams and in her broken heart. Eighteen-year-old María is a solitary and promiscuous dreamer, struggling to make sense of her life in a harsh and vibrant Mexico City. Leaving her world behind, she embarks on an epic road trip, a secret and mysterious journey of self-discovery, from the city's urban chaos to the deserts of Sinaloa and the vast oceans of La Paz. Within these immense and shifting landscapes, María comes of age. She has one intimate, secret dream that only she knows about, and then she meets a young man who is different from all the rest. In a spectacular and spiritual conclusion, the natural world embraces María with pure poetic force. The film premiered at Berlin International Film Festival 2012.
