Résumé
Set against the backdrop of the desolate Mexican coastline, 'Las horas muertas' (2013) is a poignant drama about loneliness, longing, and the fleeting nature of human connection. Directed by Aarón Fernández Lesur, the film centers on Sebastián, a teenage boy tasked with running his uncle's modest motel in Veracruz. The motel serves as a haven for clandestine affairs, including those of Miranda, a woman who regularly visits to meet her lover who consistently leaves her waiting. As Sebastián and Miranda find themselves spending more time together due to Miranda's lover's habitual tardiness, an ambiguous relationship begins to bloom between them. The film explores themes of unrequited love, missed opportunities, and the transient nature of life, as embodied by the motel's clientele and its temporary inhabitants.
