Los Chocuacos

Chalo, a security guard, dreams of owning his first fighting rooster. Once he achieves his goal, a series of unexpected events unfold, testing his hopes and the strength of friendship.

“Güilas” is a film born from the short “Amor de Temporada.” It’s made up of a series of adventures and mischief by children—those spontaneous, authentic, and restless little humans who follow their innocent impulses without fear. These impulses lead them into unexpected and funny situations, to build dreams, face disappointments, experience small great losses, and achieve great small victories.

Clara, a 40-year-old woman, is believed to have a special connection with God. As a “healer,” she supports her family and a town in need of hope while finding solace in her bond with nature. After years of being controlled by her repressive mother, Clara’s sexuality awakens when she becomes attracted to her niece’s new boyfriend. This newfound force leads her into unexplored territory, allowing her to cross both physical and mystical boundaries. Empowered by self-discovery, Clara gradually frees herself from her role as a “saint” and begins to heal herself.

Masha, an 11-year-old girl, suddenly moves with her mother Elisa to her grandmother Dinia’s house, who is beginning to lose her memory. The coexistence among these three women triggers a delusion around the presence of a man inside the house whom no one else sees.
