Brothers Arturo and Gustavo Mart\u00ednez leave their hometown in central Mexico with the desire to cross the continent on bicycles. Eighty-two days and 5,600 km later, they arrive in Toronto, not knowing that this journey will change the entire route of their lives. Ever since director Andrea Mart\u00ednez Crowther can remember, stories of her father and uncle\u2019s trip have formed part of her family\u2019s folklore. Over half a century later, Arturo and Gustavo &#8211; now in their 70s &#8211; retrace that epic path, in an exploration of memory, the cycles of life and the unavoidable passage of time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>&#8220;When I was a little girl, I thought it was pretty normal to have a Dad who had travelled from Mexico to Canada on bicycle.

She has directed four feature films. The first, INSIGNIFICANT THINGS, was executive produced by Guillermo del Toro and participated in the Sundance Screenwriter\u2019s Lab. It premiered at the San Sebastian Film Festival. She went on to direct the award-winning intimate documentary CICLO about her father\u2019s bicycle journey from Mexico to Canada. After that came OBSERVAR LAS AVES about a writer who decides to say farewell to life through a movie, winning the People\u2019s Choice Award at the Los Cabos Film Festival. Her most recent film, TARE, stars renowned Mexican actor Tenoch Huerta (Narcos, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever) and is in post-production. Andrea is currently developing the romantic comedy SMITTEN as well as THE SECRET LIFE OF PLANTS, her first venture in the world of Web Series -well, if you don\u2019t count her self-produced web series LA HISTORIA DEL GALLO about her restaurant Gallo G\u00fcero, as a way of helping it survive the pandemic. (It didn\u2019t but at least she has a series to show for it). Andrea is a member of the DGC and alumna of WIDC.
