Tetanus - Selection for the 41st Chicago Latino Film Festival - April 3rd - 14th, 2025

Tétano • María, Pablo and Juanito live in an orphanage that is about to be shut down. The news couldn’t come at a worse time for Juanito, who has just been diagnosed with a heart disease. Don Lucho, the owner of the local seafood restaurant, tells the three friends about “Tetanus”, an old racing car that won every single prize until Chácharas, its driver and owner, threw in the towel and stopped competing in races. The trio, in an effort to raise funds to help Juanito pay for an operation, embark on a mission to convince Chácharas to take “Tetanus” for one last ride.

Director Rafael Aparicio and Director of Photography Edgar Ramos are scheduled to attend both screenings.

Short Film: I Would Like To Become Art

Quisiera Ser Arte • A solitary pair of a painter’s pants delivers a poignant and humorous monologue, grappling with their identity and purpose. Covered in paint splatters, they question why they’re confined to a closet while ordinary pants roam the streets freely.

Writer, producer and actor Alfonso Siman is scheduled to attend both screenings.
