Aguacuario | La Berlinale Official Announcement Poster By Aleks Phoenix | Aleksphoenix

Be the first to love this poster

Beyond proud and elated to share this poster I made for José Eduardo Castilla’s short film “Aguacuario” to celebrate and reveal its official selection for the Berlinale competition in the category Berlinale Generation, short films Kplus. A purely Mexican story made with solely Mexican talent. Witnessing “Aguacuario”’s breakthrough into the big leagues simply warms my heart. I was able to work on the official poster (which I’ll post soon too) back in 2021 when the project was being conceived. Now, I can’t believe the long way it has come to ✨

“Aguacuario” tells the story of many children in Mexico who spend their lives working on family businesses to support their family economically while also daydreaming about childhood fantasies and cravings. Still, it is not a soppy tale of victimhood and disadvantageous circumstances. No. It is a bright, zesty celebration of children’s innocence and the joy of apparently “small” pleasures in life.

Under the sun and in the heat of a coast in Veracruz, Mexico, a 10-year-old boy who works alongside his older brother delivering water jugs on an old tricycle, crosses paths with a girl of his age. This will make him face a dilemma: to fulfill his responsibilities or to disobey his brother and embark on a small three-wheeled adventure.
