Rocío Sagaón

When a young boy steals billiard balls from a local saloon, a stranger is charged with the crime. The local layabouts find there is no reason to hang out at the bar without being able to shoot pool, and the boy entertains thoughts of forming a gang to steal more billiard balls in hopes of making money.

Las Islas Marias stars Pedro Infante as a man who must face time in jail, even though he never committed the crime. While on the inside, he learns important life lessons that actually make him a better man.

When night falls, three characters from different generations reveal their innermost secrets. Three people from different cultures and, more importantly, different generations – Eliane, Romes and Pablo – decide to take action in their lives before it’s too late. Recognized for her short films (Le futur proche, La ronde), Sophie Goyette scrupulously chronicles the quest of three protagonists who have reached a turning point in their personal journey. For her first feature, she delivers a meditative work steeped in the universal questions of human nature.
