Killing Crabs / Matar Cangrejos
DIRECTOR / OMAR AL ABDUL RAZZAK MARTINEZ
Rayco, an eight-year-old boy, and his fourteen-year-old sister, Paula, pass the time in every possible way as they anxiously await the arrival of crabs in Tenerife. When their mother becomes pregnant by a foreign man, Rayco and Paula worry that their lives may change before the crabs reach the island.
