Northless (Norteado) Trailer (2009)

Foreign trailer for Northless, which screened at the 2009 AFI FEST.

Andrés (Harold Torres) simply wants to cross it, but he is no simple man, as a shop owner (Alicia Laguna), her friend (Luis Cárdenas) and her employee (Sonia Couoh) soon discover when he seeks refuge with them in Tijuana. Perezcano bypasses the easy choice of turning this into a farce, and instead uncovers each character’s subtle dimensions. Nothing surprises, though, quite like an ending that catapults Northless to the level of a genuine triumph.
