Don't Take God's Children for Wild Geese

Ella Ella – well she has a name too – Luna (Patricia Garza), is actually about her much older husband and painter Alfredo (Paul Vega), and his choice of actions/reactions after she decides to leave him for a lover that he wasn’t aware of. Alberto has been going through a creative crisis and is under pressure to complete a series of paintings for a forthcoming show. It is nevertheless also plain to see that he’d been treating Luna, who’s also his model, largely as an object of desire and obsession – capturing with camera her every movement in the house when she’s not posing for him, and memorising her every physical feature, moles and warts included – he’d apparently counted twenty seven moles on her body. When Alfredo tracks down and entraps the lover she’d wanted to elope with (Rómulo Assereto), he’ll discover that they both have more in common than merely desiring the same woman…

Crimes of Passion Gabriel, a mentally unstable actor, upon release from asylum falls for aspiring actress Julieta, and tries to help her win film roles – only, she doesn’t fancy him one bit, and merely uses his connections for bettering her career. Her best friend Letícia, also an aspiring actress, uses a friend’s uncle – a senator, to further her ambition. Both their interests clash at some point – crime ensues.

Viper Viper is the nickname Leone, a blacksmith in a small Sicilian village, gave to his wife, who ran off with another man. The war ends: the fascists disguise themselves first as communists and then as Christian Democrats, and the poor survive by dancing and drinking. Leone's daughter Rosetta becomes pregnant; Leone dies, and the newborn (named Fortunato) is taken from his very young mother, who ends up in an institution. When Rosetta comes of age, she is reunited with her "witch" mother and her son.

Q Quits Recollecting Q has surrendered to the mysterious power and vice-like grip of the ‘Substance’, in trying to erase an old memory that she’d been a victim of. Her ‘Pusher’, fed up with the ceaseless manipulations she’s been through, decides to help her out by pointing to the parallel reality that ‘the Substance’ had created for her. Through this, Q will identify those hiding behind it and slaughters all her tormentors. Helped by ‘the Agent’, Q will fight them – the ‘Runner’ whom she simultaneously loves and hates, the beast of a Nazi woman who tortures her after imprisoning her in a dungeon, and the ‘Cinephile’ – the primary culprit responsible for setting off a chain of events in motion, and the one who wont hesitate locking up innocent women to satisfy his filthy cinematographic lust…

Call It Love A middle aged man regularly uses a prostitute for playing out his fantasy – of a couple in love. After a year’s acquaintance, we see he is in love with her for real – a threshold had been breeched.
