Description
Luisa and Paco are actors visiting her dysfunctional family when the need for better booze prompts a trip to a nearby bar. When Paco is recognized as an actor from Narcos: Mexico and asked to improvise a scene, the stage is set for Pereda to wryly explore issues of representation and performance. A noirish side narrative, taken from the book Luisa’s brother is reading, adds a sly subtext to the main storyline.
Nicolás Pereda is a filmmaker whose work explores the everyday through fractured and elliptical narratives using fiction and documentary tools. He often collaborates with the theater collective Lagartijas tiradas al sol and actress Teresita Sánchez. In 2010, he was awarded the Premio Orizzonti at the Venice Film Festival for his film Summer of Goliath. For Fauna, Pereda won the prize for Best Direction of a Mexican Fiction Film at the Morelia International Film Festival. In addition to his work as a filmmaker, he is an Assistant Professor of Film & Media at UC Berkeley.
