Bonfire (Hoguera)
Ernesto is a well-to-do family man who is going through an odd existential crisis. He decides to build a huge bonfire to celebrate his birthday with his family. Hoguera is a brief meditation on the fragility of man and the inescapable pathos that inhabits every family nucleus.

Candy Boy
The children in an orphanage are mysteriously falling ill and Candy Boy, bravest of the orphans, investigates. But a new arrival complicates matters...

Avant pétalos grillados
A bodybuilder, extraterrestrials, kidnapping, 40 gallons of blood-this is a beautiful, sometimes silly trip shot in Spain in stunning black & white.

Death of Shula (Yom Mota Shel Shula)
The film depicts the day where Yosi (73) the father of the Korman family, redeems the family dog Shula from agonized dying of numerous diseases by putting her to sleep. Should he bury her in a pet cemetery, with a dignified, but costly gravestone? Should he simply leave her in the good hands of sanitation workers? Yosi decides to take Shula's inanimate body with him and bury it in the sands, nearby home. His efforts to find partners to the burial journey are futile; Yosi's son Asaf and his girlfriend Liron (25) are busy moving boxes to a new apartment. His youngest daughter, Michal (23), works in a restaurant and can't get out of the shift. His wife Tami (56) is exhausted from the weekend's domestic chores. Yosi's ride extends as Shula's dead body rests in a cardboard box bound the rooftop of his old car. Intense forces of life, banal and mundane, interrupt the peacefulness of such a burial journey. The participants in the film (the director himself, and the members of his family) play themselves in a cinematic story based on a true event.

SuperDONG
What happens to toilet graffiti when we're not looking?

Tomboy (Même pas mort)
Chloé is ten years old. She plays soccer, never cries and doesn't like other girls. One day, Marie, a sweet blond girl, participates for the first time to the games of Chloé and her boy friends. Marie's feminity puts in danger Chloe's self confidence and the whole band...

Like Father, Like Daughter (Tel père, telle fille)
Julie pays a visit to her father in the south of France. He has been amputated and lives alone in a seaside house. Father and daughter don't know how to talk to one another, they approach each other, try to explore, dare come closer, and sometimes acknowledge each other. They share the same desire for women, an ambiguous mutual understanding which is tolerated if kept silent.
