(Duck Season, by Fernando Eimbcke, Mexico, 2004, 91 min)
Two fourteen-year old boys, Flama and Moko, have the apartment to themselves, looking forward to a day of video games, delivered pizza and coca-cola. Then their neighbor Rita comes over to borrow their oven, the power goes out, and the pizza delivery guy (who arrives 11 seconds late because he had to climb the stairs) refuses to leave until he gets paid. The day suddenly becomes far different than expected. Duck Season, winner of an unprecedented 11 Ariel Awards in Mexico, explores the loneliness of childhood, the effects of divorce, and the curious power of love and friendship.
