1. With a dash of humor and numbing grief

2020 silenced the cacophony of daily life and, in the looming silence, we waited in anticipation for normalcy to return. Sitting at home, we were hungry for stories and our old routines. As it turns out, the year was full of stories that were also hungry--hungry to unfold and be told.  At director's house, four foxes enticed me toward the unknown. They will also guide you as you follow my journey, one that requires a dash of humor and numbing grief to understand the year we could have never imagined.

2. INCAPABLE

A documentary series about people who have been declared incapacitated by the state, guardianship authorities and the closest relatives, probably because they are all foster people of the PNH (psychoneurological hospitals). Yes, these guys have great limitations in their abilities: someone can't walk, speak, or write, many of them were abandoned by their parents, and actually by society, but "incapacitated" people don't consider themselves as such and prove their position by their actions.
