Mezcal

A group of beings permeated by the lack of love, guilt, pain and a desire for revenge, meet on the day of a storm at a cantina in the mythical town of Parián, a place where all roads and all destinies converge. There they find consolation for their woes in mezcal and in the distress of the others.

Directed by Ignacio Ortiz, Mezcal leans on a strong ensemble — Dagoberto Gama, Ana Graham, Angelina Peláez — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 2007.
