Ana’s attempts to have her first baby completely on her own and away from her hometown don’t seem to be going well. She tries to take care of the flat she rents in central São Paulo, attend her medical appointments and everything else on her own, but eventually gives up and puts up a discrete ad for an assistant and nanny for the upcoming baby.
After many failed interviews, Ana meets Clara, a woman from the suburbs of the city who holds a degree as a nurse. In need of money, she is drawn to a job announcement that doesn’t interest any of her colleagues – the full-time care of a single pregnant woman. Clara and Ana have an instant connection.
Clara takes the job and moves from her suburban neighborhood to Ana’s flat downtown. Although the relationship between the two is mainly professional in the beginning, they soon realize they have similar personalities and taste for solitude. Clara notices something else in Ana: fear. Her pregnancy is not a safe one, and Ana has doubts about going on. One night, Clara hears Ana’s scream: the baby is coming early. Ana dies before Clara’s eyes as her son rips through her body.
It is no ordinary baby. To Clara, he looks a little like a wolf. Her first instinct is to kill it, but she cannot bring herself to do so. She carries it away. Across the town in the middle of the night, Clara goes back home and hides the baby from the world. She figures time will tell her what to do.
As time passes and the child shows traces of a violent behavior, Clara has to learn to see beyond the inhuman features. She has to try to teach the child good manners, and also keep it quiet and hidden: there is a chance they are being chased. The father of the child wants it back.
 

After centuries of linguistic conflict between Spanish and Catalan--including the persecution of Catalan for decades under the dictatorship of Francisco Franco and then the language's promotion to (co)official status after his death--the collective psyche of Catalan society suffers a peculiar neurosis. Today, the simple matter of a restaurant owner choosing which language to use on his menus can reveal anxieties about immigration, historical memory, collective rights, the construction of identity and the role of the state in normalizing behavior.
'Catalonia on the Couch' explores the ongoing language conflict in Catalonia through the testimony of a wide spectrum of people who live there. One after another, young and old, a stream of dozens of residents of Catalonia from across the political and socioeconomic spectrum will sit down on the same couch to reveal personal stories from the front lines of the conflict. The participants are not politicians, academics or other such experts, but rather everyday people with personal stories of frustration, misunderstanding, and alienation that reveal the complex relationship between language, identity and power.
Many Catalan speakers feel their language is disappearing under their feet, but in some circumstances they are shamed out of speaking it. Many Spanish speakers resent what they see as an imposition of Catalan. Many new arrivals look quite harshly on Catalan, perceiving its use as excluding them, while other newcomers embrace it as a means of integration. Some with Spanish as a first language grow up to self-identify as Catalan speakers, while others with Catalan as a first language prefer to use Spanish by default. All have their reasons, and their techniques for navigating Catalonia's tricky linguistic terrain reveal unavoidable tensions.
The edited film will play as a stream-of-consciousness, jumping from participant to participant and back again to create the effect of a single character--Catalan society--in conflict with itself.
 

Mauricio Catalan, 45, is a successful lawyer, a partner at a "boutique" law firm focused on environmental issues. Like any good trial lawyer, Catalan is charismatic, dynamic and with great power of persuasion. His rhetoric is relentless. Also, like any good lawyer, he has often had to defend clients who are on both ends of the environmental arena. Some great legal victories for small communities fighting against big multinational companies have earned him a legendary reputation. But he has also scored big points for big companies trying to take advantage of smaller competitors.

Through an environmental NGO, Catalan is contacted by an indigenous "mapuche" community in the south of Chile, concerned about the recent activity of a large mining company in its territory. The communities in the area are aware of the rich iron deposit that rest on their ancestral lands, and understand that they need someone to defend them against the great business interested in it. They need the best lawyer. After studying the case, Catalan decides that there is an opportunity to pressure the company to reach an agreement that is favorable for the community, and by extension, to himself. Catalan move his contacts and conducts complex judicial maneuvers, while constantly traveling to the area to be in contact with the Mapuche community, to gain their trust, and, eventually, convince them that the best solution is a negotiated one.

In the process he meets the sexy and ruthless attorney for the company, a girl who had been his student in a graduate class at a foreign university and with whom he maintained a fleeting affair. When the situation of social tension escalate up to a point when it starts to be dangerous for him and the community, Catalan decides to settle with the company, only to realize then that he has been only a pawn in a much bigger corporate chess game.
 

Manuel Segovia (77) and his neighbor Isidro Velazquez (70) live in the town of Ayapa, deep in the tropical lowlands of southeastern Mexico. Surrounded by birds, rivers, swamps, and oil wells, their homes are at opposite ends of the main village square. They are the last known people to have Ayapaneco as their maternal tongue, and they refuse to speak to each other because of an enduring grudge between them.

The Ayapaneco language is on the verge of extinction. In spite of being neighbors, Manuel and Isidro are estranged and don’t talk to each other. No one knows how the grudge between the two men started, but the resulting silence threatens the survival of a language.

Manuel has worked his entire life on the fields as a crop farmer. He lives with his wife Concepción, confined to her bed since she suffered a domestic accident, and their two sons. One of them, also named Manuel, is constrained by his wheelchair to work at home, restoring religious images. In his spare time, the younger Manuel attempts to learn the Ayapaneco tongue. He understands some words, but lacks the necessary time to master the language.

Ever since Manuel was a young boy, the people of Ayapa grew increasingly embarrassed of their native tongue and slowly abandoned it. The few native speakers remaining have died, among them Manuel’s brother, with whom he spoke Ayapaneco as if it were their secret language.

Manuel is well aware that Ayapaneco is close to disappearing. He has tried to save his native tongue from extinction, but has encountered many obstacles. For instance, the parents of the children Manuel tries to teach ayapaneco have little interest in their sons learning the language of their people.

Isidro is known to friends and loved ones as “Chilo”. Isidro lives with his wife, children and grand children, working as a crop farmer. His family attests that many “gringos”, among other people, have come to Isidro to learn Ayapaneco. They promise him money but mostly fail to keep their word, so Isidro has grown suspicious of those interested in his native tongue.

Isidro cares very little of being one of the last remaining speakers of the Ayapaneco language. He believes it is impossible to save it from disappearing, as people are no longer interested in learning it. People are moving into the cities, away from country and leaving their customs behind.

The survival of a language and the heritage of the people of Ayapa depend on the willingness of two men to reconcile their differences and speak to each other again.
