¡Salsa!
Amid prejudiced gazes, free-spirited Margarita leaves her marriage to find herself. She takes refuge in a seaside kiosk, where impromptu salsa parties thrive. There, she meets Liana, a deaf tourist, and sees in her a chance for a new kind of connection—tactile and expressive. As Margarita teaches Liana to dance, they become each other's path to freedom.
Call me Ro
Romelia, a queer young mexican raver, starts a journey of self-discovery and identity transition. This exploration hinders their relationship with “El Flako” (with whom they have an important generational gap), breaking and questioning their routine with new needs and desires.
Honey To The Moon
A wandering soul caught in a moment of reflection is met with a sweet surprise; an object of desire. Thrust from his lonely corner, Moon falls into a journey of love with Sun. Through surrealistic visuals and flowing dance, twin flames bend and grow together in nature. Will the passage of time and the power of nature keep them apart? Or are they predestined to orbit each other forever?

Stay Still Or I Love You
Even the most insignificant animals have their survival instinct intact. But not "El Malincho", this young bandit desperately seeks refuge in love.
ZAGÊRO
It's so normal to be normal, isn't it?
