Un juego intertextual que atraviesa la Ciudad de México con el espÃritu de Juan Rulfo y Gabriela Cabezón Cámara.
José Federico Burgos es un pintor frustrado devenido falsificador, atrapado en un esplendor surrealista y algo alarmante que involucra una obra maestra flamenca, un vagabundo pÃcaro y dos hermanos mellizos tan intimidantes como ingeniosos. Él bebe demasiado alcohol, deambula por la zona y, cada dÃa que pasa sin lograr copiar la pintura, se acerca un poco más hacia lo que realmente sucede tras los altos muros del jardÃn.En homenaje a grandes como Juan Rulfo y Luis Barragán, Puertas demasiado pequeñas de Ave Barrera recorre la Guadalajara de fines del siglo XX con la exuberancia y excentricidad de una novela picaresca del siglo XVIII. Una travesura magnÃfica y lúdica que se adentra en asuntos como la identidad, el arte y la amistad; un retrato audaz, divertido e Ãntimo del México contemporáneo digno de El Bosco.
