Dos Estaciones

Señora María runs the family-owned Dos Estaciones tequila distillery in the Jalisco highlands, carrying on a tradition that dates back generations. Strong-willed, she is both admired and secretly pitied, for the business is failing on all fronts, and with it, Maria García begins to subtly transform in tender and surprising ways.

When María meets Rafaela, a professional who is adept at all aspects of tequila production, the young woman could be the answer to her prayers. But this is merely a reprieve, as environmental conditions and pressure from multinational corporations is hitting Dos Estaciones with more blows than it can withstand. Juan Pablo González’s feature film debut is a stunning look at a woman coming undone by forces beyond her control, and features an incredible performance by Teresa Sánchez as María. “The mannered, deliberate pace of González's filmmaking matches Maria's dignified reverence for her craft.” –Marya E. Gates, RogerEbert.com
