Past event

in the framework of the KINOLATINO festival

Fifty-year-old Maria Garcia is the owner of the Dos Estaciones, a once-majestic tequila factory struggling to stay afloat, and the final hold-over from generations of Mexican-owned tequila plants in the highlands of Jalisco; the rest have folded to foreign corporations. Once one of the wealthiest people in town, Maria knows her current financial situation is untenable. When a persistent plague and an unexpected flood cause irreversible damage, she is forced to do everything she can to save her community's main source of economy and pride.

Juan Pablo González is a Mexican filmmaker whose work includes documentary, fiction and experimental films. In 2015, he was named one of Filmmaker Magazine’s 25 New Faces of Independent Film. His work and collaborations have been screened at film festivals such as Cannes, Locarno, IDFA, Edinburgh, Slamdance, Morelia and Full Frame, among others.
