Join us for three films flown in from Spain, Mexico and Chile. Whether it’s couple trying to figure our their complicated connection (Kano o Kama), a mother looking back at the life of her son (The Palace of the Moon), or three sets of men trying to define their relationships (The Men and the River), there’s a drama for everyone.
