TIFF 2013: Mexican Films at the Toronto International Film Festival

Mexican Films at the Toronto International Film Festival

 Club Sandwich
Dir. Fernando Eimbcke
While vacationing at a beachside resort, a single mother faces inevitable separation anxiety when her 15-year-old son - who is also her best friend - discovers magical chemistry with a girl his own age. Director Fernando Eimbcke approaches the subject with sensitivity while presenting it in a wonderfully awkward, laugh-out-loud comedy.
