The Story
Sinopsis/Synopsis:
"Sabino” is a student short film about the melancholy of a man's life when he finds himself alone.
One day upon returning to his ranch in the Mexican countryside, an old man named Sabino loses his horse when it gets scared off by a snake. He tries to search for his it but is unsuccessful, therefore he locks himself in his house. Sabino's loneliness confronts him with the pain of his past: his repressed homosexuality and his memories. A call from death makes him feel vulnerable and creates an inner duel that results in his liberation, both internal and external.
“Sabino” es un cortometraje estudiantil sobre la melancolía que siente un hombre cuando se encuentra en soledad.
Un día, al regresar a su rancho en el campo mexicano, un hombre mayor llamado Sabino pierde su caballo tras ser asustado por una serpiente. Intenta buscarlo pero no lo encuentra, por lo que se encierra en su casa. La soledad de Sabino lo lleva a confrontar el dolor de su pasado: su homosexualidad reprimida y sus memorias. Una llamada de la muerte lo hace sentir vulnerabilidad y le crea un dúo interno que resulta en su liberación, externa e interna.
This short film explores the semiotics of Mexican masculinity in its portrayal in the media, especially in the audiovisual content. Mexican machismo relies on homophobia. This project seeks to deconstruct the stereotypical male character through the nostalgia of a man who realizes his emptiness after losing his only company, a white horse.
Sabino frees himself from the prejudices that have held him back throughout his life. In his solitude he remembers and accepts the pain he caused José (a friend he was attracted to) in their youth. Sabino feels sorry for his past actions and in a sudden exploration of his vulnerability, he cries. After a moment of acceptance, a series of events unfold.
Este cortometraje explora la semiótica de la masculinidad mexicana y su representación en los medios, especialmente en el contenido audiovisual. Parte del machismo mexicano es la homofobia. Este proyecto busca deconstruir el personaje masculino estereotípico por medio de la nostalgia de un hombre que se da cuenta de su vacío después de perder su única compañía, su caballo blanco.
Sabino se libera de los prejuicios que lo han retenido a lo largo de su vida. En su soledad recuerda y acepta el dolor que le causó a Jose (una amigo por quien sentía atracción) en su juventud. Sabino lamenta sus acciones pasadas y en una repentina exploración de su vulnerabilidad, llora. Después de un momento de aceptación, una serie de eventos se desenredan.

The setting of this short film is rural Mexico. It draws inspiration from the literary atmospheres of Juan Rulfo; the cinema of Arturo Ripstein and Jaime Humberto Hermosillo; my childhood growing up on the outskirts of Guanajuato; and the work of countless plastic artists whose main themes of representation is the typical Mexican countryside. This short film seeks to reverse the traditional elements of Mexico and its relationship homosexuality.
El contexto del cortometraje es en México rural. Toma inspiración de las atmósferas literarias de Juan Rulfo; el cine de Arturo Ripstein y Jaime Humberto Hermosillo; mi infancia creciendo en las afueras de Guanajuato; y el trabajo de varios artistas plásticos cuyos temas de representación es el típico campo mexicano. Este corto busca revertir los elementos tradicionales de Mexico y relación con la homosexualidad.
I am looking for humanity instead of fatalism, to connect throughout the short film with daily and human themes such as love, forgiveness, loneliness, companionship, and the intimacy of life. The message seeks to communicate the value of acceptance and self-love.
I seek to represent in the most honest, objective, and realistic way possible the portrait of an ordinary man. Unlike many of the contemporary stories that are being told by Mexican creators where the conflict is defined by drug trafficking, organized crime, or the violence that plagues the country; which creates an issue where strong and complicated topics are being exploited, romanticized, and overrepresented; Sabinos is seeking to grow from the everyday life. It is also trying to tell a different set of conflicts that are also an important part of the current Mexican discourse.
Estamos buscando humanidad en vez de fatalismo, para conectar a lo largo del cortometraje con temas cotidianos y humanos como el amor, perdón, soledad, la compañía y la intimidad de la vida. El mensaje busca comunicar el valor de la aceptación y el amor propio.
Busco representar en la manera más honesta, objetiva y realista el retrato de un hombre ordinario. A diferencia de las historias contemporáneas creadas por creadores mexicanos, donde el conflicto se define por tráfico de drogas, crimen organizado o la violencia que engloba el país; que crea un problema donde historias complejas y fuertes están siendo explotados, romantizados y sobrerrepresentados; Sabino intenta partir de la vida diaria. Intenta contar diferentes conflictos que también son una parte importante del discurso de un México actual.
