Love Can't Wait (Feature Film): Viri and Agustín realize that love always operates in unexpected ways, as in the movies.


Stump the Guesser (Short Film): He works at the fairground as “Stump the Guesser”, who can guess anything for a fee. But suddenly his tricks stop working. Then, he falls in love with his sister whom he believed to be lost. He sets out to scientifically disprove the theory of heredity and marry his beloved as soon as possible.


About the Pairing:

Sending audiences into Love Can’t Wait with a feeling of fun, Gilliam-esque whimsy, Stump the Guesser is a fantastical preamble to some good old fashioned romance.
