Strange World

Directed by Eugenia Llaguno

Mexico | 18 min | 2022

A sex worker who does not know love discovers it one night with a suicidal man.

A sex worker is assaulted by one of her clients in a motel. She visits a bar to get drunk and forget what happened that night. Upon arrival, she meets his friend Fello, a mariachi from the neighborhood, and asks him to sing her favourite song. As they sing, she connects with a sad, lonely man drinking coffee at one of the tables and apparently hiding something. She approaches the man to talk and find out who he is and what he hides.
