Mouchy

Fifty-year-old Olga lives in a carefully kept apartment in the heart of Mexico City and has everything under control - except for her noisy neighbours. But when circumstances force her to rent out a spare room, her new flatmate doesn't arrive alone. He secretly brings along his nine-year-old son, Cristiano. Olga initially rejects the presence of this small troublemaker, but gradually, to her surprise, finds a way to connect with the boy. This understated festival gem by director Fernando Eimbcke reminds us that even the most unlikely encounters can transform our lives. Perhaps through a shared passion for arcade games.
