The Obscure Spring

It is winter, and Pina (Irene Azuela), who serves coffee, and Igor (José María Yázpik), a plumber, both want each other badly. Neither is free. She sews a lion costume for her little son, and he sets about buying a photocopying machine for his wife. Ernesto Contreras lets these small errands fill the cold months, and what the two of them hold back sits in the coffee, the costume, and the machine.
