A film by Juan Pablo González

*Q&A with director Juan Pablo González

Director Juan Pablo González offers a welcome twist to the traditional films set in the idyllic haciendas of yesteryear’s Mexican cinema to tell the story of María García, an iron-willed businesswoman who fights the impending collapse of her tequila factory in an increasingly globalized industry. Set in the Jalisco highlands and anchored by a brilliant performance by Teresa Sánchez—winner of a Special Jury Prize for Acting at Sundance—Dos Estaciones is a love letter to the director’s homeland, as well as a potent tale of resilience.

Cinema Tropical and the Center for Latin American Studies at the University of Arizona, in association with the Consulate of Mexico in Tucson. With the additional support of Film Tucson, Visit Tucson, Rio Nuevo, Tucson Museum of Art, Borderlands Brewery, Godat Design and La Estrella Bakery.
