Malditos Viejos • Elías, an 80-year-old recently widowed, harsh and grumpy old man, thinks life couldn’t get any worse. Isolated in a rural neighborhood with a large elderly population, the loss of his wife weighs heavy on him, as well as some financial difficulties brought on by her death, his tense relationship with his son and his own deteriorating health. Then there’s that grungy street cat who has decided to turn his nights—and the neighborhood’s—into an infernal symphony of meows. Full of acid humor, Xavier Chávez C.’s biting feature debut, is a deep, moving reflection about loneliness and human relationships.
