For Rowena, Today Is 'Christmas Again?!'
For a young girl who wishes to keep her current traditions, this holiday will end up with a surprise twist.
Ad Absurdum
Augusto and Santino, two budding civil servants, are mired in total failure in their lives and in the political career they are pursuing. This has led them to an existence full of uneasiness that sinks them deeper and deeper into total and soporific tedium. They both frequent a place called The Chicago Club, where sordidness invades the atmosphere and time stands still. Anton, an evil man, collaborates with Augusto and Santino and helps them to fulfill the fantasies that both wish to carry out night after night: «to achieve absolute power», and «to remember past loves», among other delusions. One night, the stakes between Antón, Santino, and Augusto grow along with the game they take to the limit. The characters get lost in their delusions, the insults become real, as well as the pain, the anguish, the hate, and their obsessions, all this in a single night where tragedy inhabits it: the excitement touches the bottom and death appears, it becomes an ally of power.

The Rise of a Kindhearted Comedy Hero: The Anti-Toxic Masculinity Message of Brendan Fraser Films
Throughout Brendan Fraser’s career, he has played a plethora of unique, layered characters who explore the importance of not being afraid to display your emotions, something that is often seen to not be a masculine trait. This idea of regulating emotion and what traits men are able to possess creates a toxic atmosphere for men who are often told they should not cry or represent their emotions in any physical way. These characters represent that men can be joyful, emotionally conscious, and sensitive, while also representing their masculine identity instead of painting those qualities as fighting against their masculinity.
