Parque Via

Winner of the Golden Leopard and FIPRESCI Award in Locarno Film Festival 2008, Beto is the custodian of a house in Mexico City, left empty for several years, in which he used to work as a domestic help. The solitude of the last ten years, as well as the monotony and routine of his job has made him lead a secluded life, which might seem suffocating for most people, but for him provides a safe and stable environment, in contrast to the threatening world outside. He has developed a pathological fear for the exterior, to the point of limiting his contacts to only two people: the owner of the house and Lupe, a friend, a confident and a lover. Once he learns that the house will soon be sold, Beto is confronted to the dilemma of gathering the courage to get out and get a life or find a way of remaining in his confinement.
