Gabriela Ivette Sandoval Torres

Three Mexican filmmakers — Max del Río, Gabriela Ivette Sandoval, and Hugo Villaseñor Alcázar — share their processes and challenges around a single question: How can an independent film get seen? Through the eyes of insiders, the documentary reveals the complex journey behind making cinema visible in Mexico.

It's been six years since Mariano graduated from film school. He's about to turn 30 and he still lives with his mom, spends most of his time watching movies and has never written a single screenplay. His comfortable routine changes when his 15-year-old cousin, Ramiro, moves in with them.

"It ain't a hard question" tells the story, in 93 minutes, of Andrea (Ana González Bello), a frustrated dentist who falls in love with Miguel (Roberto Andrade), an older and unattractive man, but one who is completely devoted to her. After a quick marriage, Miguel's unexpected depression leads to situations that are as absurd as they are revealing.
