. Los Super Elegantes, Dieciseis, directed by Miguel Calderón, 2005, 3'37"

. Dieciseis turns the American Dream into a Latin American soap. A young woman waves to her handsome lover from a balcony, full of longing. Her strict mother, however, locks her in and forbids her to make any contact. The sad princess nonchalantly breaks out by hiding in a garbage can, which her mother rolls out onto the street with her own hands. For her lover is a garbage collector and drives his rounds in this quarter every day. His workmates raise the can with its precious contents up to the beloved, high on the garbage truck. The happy end is inevitable, like happiness itself: endless love in the modernist villa, perfect dives into the blue pool and voracious life on the soft leather of a speedboat.
