Nicolás Pereda | Mexico, Canada | 2009 | 73' | Spanish spoken, English subtitles
Tensions rise in Gabino and Luisa’s apartment in
The three of them escape from the situation by going away to a rural area just outside of town. Gabino is convinced that Junto has looked for accommodation here. However, it turns out that something very different is waiting for Luisa, Gabino and Paco.
In the minimalist oeuvre of young Mexican filmmaker Nicolás Pereda, that which is not filmed is often as important to the narrative as that which is. In Juntos, the characters are sometimes just outside of shot; the dog who is the catalyst for the whole story, never even appears. Juntos could be seen as a prologue to Perpetuum Mobile, but the film also more than stands alone.
