Rob is a young man who grows up watching his father abuse his mother. When jealousy brings Rob face to face with his own violent tendencies toward women, he confronts his father’s behavior so he can learn how to be "un hombre vero."

Bitter Memories examines masculinity by addressing responsibility, relationships and the cycle of domestic violence.

This 14:12-minute film was created by Scenarios USA.

Mariella Zavala credits wildly divergent cultures in the US, Mexico and Texas as forces that make her mind so open and diverse. She feels lucky to have experienced so many aspects of film making through her work with Scenarios and now knows she wants to make movies! Though she isn't set on a specific role–writer, director, actor, producer–she wants the opportunity to be creative in whatever she does.
