ALL ABOUT THE FEATHERS [Por las plumas]

A down-on-his-luck security guard buys a fighting cock in this delightfully deadpan Costa Rican comedy. Working the nightshift on a deserted property, Chalo always dreamed of owning a fighting fowl, but when his wish comes true he's not sure how to turn Rocky the rooster into a champion. Out of luck, he turns to his hapless coworker Jason, nurturing neighbor Candy and his biggest fan, Erlan, in order to get by. Utilizing a cast of non-professional actors, first-time filmmaker Neto Villalobos has crafted a daffy, intimate tale of friendship. Official Selection, 2013 Toronto, San Sebastian Film Festivals; 2014 Miami, San Francisco, Vancouver Film Festivals.
