Looking for some lighter fare? These eleven shorts are just what the doctor ordered. In “Dad in Mum,” two young sisters discuss the merits of their parents’ nocturnal efforts; a young man getting over a breakup gets more than he bargained for when he hires an escort in “The Girlfriend Experience;” the three bachelor brothers in “De Smet” have their lives perfectly in sync—until one of them is wooed away by a neighbor; and in “Myrna the Monster,” a heartbroken alien dreamer struggles to navigate the LA singles scene.

Description

What do you do when your best friend shows up at your front door asking you to kiss him? Daniel just wants an honest, sober appraisal of how he kisses. Ale is unconvinced. Is a kiss between friends ever 'just a kiss'? What was meant to be a quiet night in doing laundry quickly becomes a thorough deconstruction of Ale and Daniel's friendship in this Mexican adaptation of American playwright Mark Harvey Levine's short play 'The Kiss'.
