Director Victor Manuel Castro takes a farcical look at gender politics in the zany Mexican comedy HEMBRA O MACHO. Blonde bombshell Lorena Herrara stars as a sexy stripper who quits her job at an androgynous strip club only to be injured in a freak car accident.

It isn't long before Zayas finds himself attracted to the ersatz she-male and visits a psychiatrist to help him sort out his sexual identity crisis. This madcap romantic comedy is presented in Spanish without subtitles.

A living timeline branching across 64 years of German history commencing with the first world war, this compelling 9-hour chronicle immerses viewers in the lives and lineage of small-town family the Simons like a steadily unfolding novel. Avoiding the tendency towards a simplified,
good vs. evil
account of history, Heimat, roughly translated as
homeland,
captures the coexistence of ordinary Germans in times of profound atrocities and radical socio-political transformation. The film`s confrontational view of Germany`s past has prompted introspection from audiences around the world, and the acknowledgement of past crimes against humanity as a shared scar that touches all of human history.
