Alejandro Gerber Bicecci : 2014
A Separate Wind
A family holiday on the Mexican Pacific coast. One day Omar and Karina's mother suffers a stroke on the beach. The 15-year-old boy and his 12-year-old sister, drifting apart, will start a long journey towards their grandmother's house more than 2,000 kilometres away, close to the US border. Alone they traverse a poor and divided country, full of mistrustful people. Where there is mistrust, there is resentment and anger that can easily turn into violence. So far the siblings haven't been on the best of terms. Now, lost and with only each other to rely on, they have a chance to improve their relations. Diverse characters – strangers in their own land – will lead them, in labyrinthine stages, to their final destination. Alejandro Gerber Bicecci's second feature premiered at Guadalajara Film Festival 2014, and had its European premiere in competition at Warsaw Film Festival 2014.
