FOR RENT
[Se arrienda]
This poignant exploration of youth's bittersweet passing, the ironies of success and the promise of new love recalls the best of Arnaud Desplechin and Paul Thomas Anderson. Music student Luciano Cruz-Coke worries about "selling out" and whether to score a fellow student's horror film (THE KILLER ANTS). Flash forward 15 years: some of his least talented friends are now the most successful, Luciano has nothing to show after six years waiting tables in New York and THE KILLER ANTS has gained a cult following.

FUGUE
[Fuga]
A musical opus of death and immortality. Prodigious Eliseo Montalbán composes a symphony based on the notes struck by the lifeless hand of his sister who was murdered atop a piano. But when his female pianist dies during the work's first performance, Eliseo goes mad, destroys his score and retreats into obscurity. Years later, a talentless musician discovers the last remaining pages of Eliseo's symphony and seeks to make a name for himself by recreating it. What results is a cat-and-mouse game through the human psyche and the originality of creation.
