Mañana
(DVD)
DIRECTED BY - NC Heikin
Mañana is about procrastination, or how the road to hell is paved with good intentions...
Marie (the charismatic Fanny Gilles) wonders why people find it so hard to be good. Seeing her neighbor is sick, she decides that buying her flowers would make her good. But this simple gesture turns out to be difficult to accomplish, what with all the stresses of life, and the ideal of goodness more elusive than she thought.
