A Russian Elephant in the Room (12 minutes)

My First Wedding (102 minutes) – in Spanish with subtitles
Jewish-born Adrián and Catholic-born Leonora are set to be married – but the groom has misplaced the wedding rings, the priest and the rabbi have lost their chauffeur, and the families are of little help. A comedy that draws upon the politics of "The Big Day" from writer Patricio Vega and director Ariel Winograd.
