1998 - IN THE MIRROR OF THE SKY
This multiple-award winning short is a reflection on a young boy's
steps toward maturity. A boy of seven or eight lives with his mother
in a small house in rural Mexico. He wants to capture a jet airplane
that flies over the fields every day. He tries to grab its reflection
when it passes across the animals' watering hole. First, he tries
leaping astride the reflection, another day he flings one of his
mother's blankets over it as it passes. Then, he builds a box with
a side flap he can close as the plane's reflection travels the surface
of the pond. With success comes responsibility: what should he do
with the plane once he's captured it in his box? Not yet acquired.
