Life & Nothing More

It is hard to keep up when everything seems to be against you. 'Life & Nothing More', by Antonio Méndez Esparza, explores the life of a disjointed family from the north of Florida through the stories of two members. On one side, Regina, mather of a family, fights to make ends meet while in her heart she desires for something more than just being a mother. On the other side, Andrew, an adolescent who finds it difficult to find his place in the United States and suffers the family pressure. When the young boy decides to seek for his absent father, the events are unleashed, leading him through paths he would never expect. Is it possible for them to find each other even though they are so far away? 'Life & Nothing More' was premiered at the Toronto and San Sebastián festivals and was nominated for the Golden Seashell. All the actors are non professional.
