A Common Crime
Directed by Francisco Márquez
Cecilia (40) is a sociology teacher at the University. One stormy night, Kevin (15), a poor young man, the son of her maid, desperately knocks on the door of her house. Terrified, she doesn’t open. The next day, Kevin’s body shows up floating in the river, murdered by the police. Cecilia begins to be haunted by the young man’s ghost. Disturbed, she tries to forget him and go on with her life, but now it seems she is the ghost.

"A Common Crime does not obviously present itself as a political drama, although at heart that’s what it clearly is. Directed with stylistic canniness and empathetic insight, the film features a superb, elusive, genuinely unnerving performance by Elisa Carricajo, and it should cause ripples with outlets that follow new Latin American cinema at its most searching.” SCREEN
