Synopsis
Translation from Spanish. In his autobiographies, celebrated Mexican innovator Mario Bellatin recounts his childhood as a bathhouse spectacle, the treatment of an illness suffered by his Sufi spiritual mentor, and his complicated search for a quality second-hand Renault 5. The Large Glass deconstructs the very form it embraces.
