DUCK SEASON / TEMPORADA DE PATOS
A film by Fernando Eimbcke
(Mexico, 2004, 90 min. In Spanish with English subtitles)

Teenagers Flama and Mako have been inseparable since childhood. Left alone by their parents, they prepare for yet another uneventful Sunday in their housing complex: video games, pizza, soda, comics—everything they need to fend off boredom. But their quiet afternoon is upended by the arrival of their neighbor Rita and a pizza delivery man named Ulises, each seeking their own escape from monotony. A gently absurd and tender exploration of adolescent curiosity, Duck Season offers a timeless portrait of friendship, loneliness, and the small ruptures that shape us. Shot in luminous black and white by Alexis Zabé, Fernando Eimbcke’s cherished debut feature marked a turning point in Mexican cinema. Twenty years after its release, it remains as poignant—and wryly funny—as ever.
