7 Virgins (7 Virgenes)
by Miami International Film Festival
A 16-year-old boy gets into a year’s worth of trouble on a 48-hour leave from a juvenile hall. He hangs with his buddies, does drugs, robs, has sex… A rebellious coming-of-age tale, set on mean streets in southern Spain, with an outgoing protagonist who finally looks inward. Harsh realism. Strong performances.

Heartlift (lifting De CorazÓn)
A successful plastic surgeon confronts a mid-life crisis and lives to tell the tale—just barely—in director Eliseo Subiela’s sexy, frothy meditation on the madness of love. Pep Munne and Moro Anghileri squeeze sparks out of the older man/younger woman romance, while Maria Barranco steals the show as a wife scorned. This film will be a World Premiere in Miami.

Orlando Vargas
Orlando Vargas, a European businessman, flees his country and relocates to Uruguay with his wife and young son. He mysteriously disappears. The story is an homage to the director's dad, a career diplomat who was ostracized in 1973 due to his opposition to Uruguay's military coup. Impeccably photographed. Part of the Cannes 2005 Critics Week.

Sud Express
Multi-narrative in structure and deeply humanist in scope, Sud Express is a kaleidoscopic look at the delicate balance of emotions that exist on the Paris-Lisbon railway service – an economic corridor still hampered by social hierarchies, racial prejudices and even some romance - tying together southwestern Europe for better or for worse.

El Calentito
The virginal Sara (Verónica Sánchez) joins an all-woman punk band, but her debut happens to fall amid the chaos of a failed military coup. Set in a bar in Madrid, this exuberant comedy re-creates the atmosphere of Spain’s movido liberation movement, when the sexual, the musical, the familial and the political all converged to burst out of Franco’s fascism.
