'La Reclusa,' is a Spanish language, NYU graduate pre-thesis 12-minute short film, with English subtitles. The film is a whimsical dramatic story about Mariela Monllor, a recluse landlord that collects rent through a lavishly decorated rent box in the hallway. Her only contact with the outside world comes in the form of rent checks and infomercial orders. After a new tenant, Gabriel, accidentally destroys her rent box, she begins a written exchange that will redefine the boundaries of her world.
