Mariño's film is delicate and modest in its beauty, rigorously structured and with an outstanding performance by Sonia Franco.

Gabriel Mariño
Mexico
Born in Puebla, Mexico in 1978, he moved to Mexico City at the age of thirteen. He began studying history, but later decided to pursue the studies in film instead, graduating with distinction in directing from the Mexican Centro de Capacitación Cinematográfica (C.C.C.). In 2002 he took part in an exchange programme with the Munich College of Television and Film. He is currently working as a director and film and advertising editor. UN MUNDO SECRETO marks his first feature film.
