Intimidad2008
INTIMIDAD is an original Mexican love story about family relationships and the meaning of "home." Cecy and Camilo (ages twenty-one) recently moved to the border, Reynosa, Mexico, from Santa Maria, Puebla with a dream to save money, buy land and build a home. A year later they return to their rural hometown to reunite with their two year-old daughter Loida. What seems like a satisfying reunion turns into a confusing dilemma that transforms the course of their marriage. Both the family in the film (and the directors) documented INTIMIDAD over the course of five years, lending the story to an incredibly intimate, dream-like impression. INTIMIDAD mixes digital verite with Super 8 and 16mm film stock.

Great documentary! I liked it a lot! I am from a poor state of Mexico and it showed exactly what are the living conditions of most of the people. Well done!

Louis A.'s review says it all, a "universal message." We can learn a lot about our own lives, what love there may be in it, what we should be more thankful for, and inspiration to keep struggling to achieve our dreams.
