Poster-midnight-family

Mexico City disposes of only 45 public ambulances for a population of over 9 million people. This situation has given rise to an illegal business of privately owned ambulances offering emergency medical services and hospital transfers to people involved in accidents. Struggling to make ends meet, the Ochoa family runs such a business. Their day-to-day consists of rushing to the scene of an accident before anyone else, helping the injured, taking them to the hospital and finally, hoping to get paid for their services. Although they provide a social service, they sometimes resort to more or less ethical methods with their patients, hoping to benefit from the circumstances. Midnight Family paints a portrait of the family’s routine, depicting their difficult livelihood as well as their private life.

March 11th and 12th at 10:30 at Cinemes Girona and 19th March at 10:00 in Vic.
