Cosas imposibles

"Since his debut as a director with the film 'Párpados Azules', and later with 'Sonho em Outro Idioma' and 'Primaveras Escuras', Ernesto Contreras has shown that he is one of the most interesting directors from Mexico, specializing in subtleties when portraying deep and complex situations of human relationships. 'Cosas Imposibles' is no exception. Matilde (Nora Velázquez) is a sixty-year-old woman who has been living with her husband Porfírio (Salvador Garcini) since she was fifteen, in a relationship of violence and contempt. One day, Porfírio dies and she starts a deep and unlikely friendship with Miguel (Benny Emmanuel), her young neighbor, a relationship that will help them both to free themselves from their old beliefs and live the life they have always wanted. It is a dramatic comedy with great moments, which explores such deep issues as gender violence, loneliness, indifference, but also kindness, solidarity and friendship. The protagonists connect very well with the audience, something that is due to the good chemistry between Nora Velázquez and Benny Emmanuel, who deliver truly remarkable performances. Ernesto Contreras once again demonstrates that he is a solid director that should be followed."
