Felicidades ★★ Merry Christmas 2000

A not exactly joyous story set on Christmas Eve but probably much more realistic about the expectations that the holiday brings to people. A random group of men and women randomly cross paths during the evening—a doctor eager to seduce a beautiful woman, a father doing some lastminute shopping, a man in a wheelcar, a writer—all looking for some connection that they're not finding. Bittersweet rather than bitter but also frustrating because you learn so little about the characters. Spanish with subtitles. 100m/C VHS, DVD . AR Gaston Pauls, Silke Klein, Luis Machin, Pablo Cedron, Carlos Bellaso, Marcello Mazzarello; D: Lucho Bender; W: Pablo Cedron, Lucho Bender, Emilio Bender; C: Daniel Sotelo; M: Andres Goldstein, Daniel Tarrals.
