Why watch this film?
New installment in the series of short films Women's Tales from the Miu Miu brand, which highlights great directors from the world scene. In this case it is the turn of the Mexican Lila Avilés, widely recognized for the film The Camarista. In Eye Two Times Mouth we meet the story of Luz, a woman who works in a gallery but who pursues her true passion when she auditions to sing opera in Madame Butterfly. You don't have to be an opera connoisseur to enjoy the short: Avilés makes a beautiful juxtaposition between the protagonist's everyday life and her work to become an artist, which gives rise to thoughts about the love we dedicate to our art.

The Chambermaid
There is, in Mexican cinema, a very marked tendency towards exploitation and miserabilism - the so-called pornomiseria - when it comes to exploring issues of social class and economic inequality. 'La camarista', the debut of filmmaker Lila Avilés awarded at the Morelia Festival and winner of the Ariel for Best First Feature, stands out for avoiding these vices and proposing an incisive comment on these issues. The plot follows a young chambermaid, Eve (Gabriela Cartol), who works long and hard days in one of the most exclusive hotels in Mexico City, at the expense of taking care of her son. During her routine she rubs shoulders with colleagues, guests clearly more privileged - and ignorant of her situation - than she is, and studies with the aim of getting a better job to give her family a better life. 'La camarista' is a discreet but powerful portrait of loneliness, determination and crushing social inequality that is lived in Mexico, overflowing with a raging irony under its calculated and meticulous form.
