Headscratchers / Wild Tales

Pasternak

• How is possible that Gabriel was able to trick all his enemies into boarding his plane? Given the comments of Professor Leguizamón, Gabriel wasn't a particular smart people and all the passengers state that they received prizes or were asked by their companies to board the plane for business trips. I don't think that Gabriel was able to do all this on his own...
• Why the stewardess was unaware that Gabriel was the plane's pilot? If she was working on the plane, she shouldn't have been informed about the other members of the aircrew?
  • Gabriel wasn't the pilot. The stewardess tells the passengers that he's the cabin chief of the flight. She knew he was on the flight, but the stewardess didn't know about Gabriel's plan until it was too late.
• The plane Gabriel crashed didn't have a co-pilot? The story seems to imply that Gabriel is the only one at the cockpit, but all airplanes have a pilot and a co-pilot. What happened with the co-pilot?
  • It's implied by the stewardess that Gabriel poisoned or drugged the pilots. She mentioned that Gabriel had brought coffee to the cockpit, and then none of the pilots answered the stewardess afterwards.

Las Ratas

• Instead of letting Cuenca enter into the restaurant, why the waitress didn't simply refuse to serve him if she immediately recognized him upon seeing his face? She could have said something like that they were closing early that night...
• Hey waitress, if your fellow psychotic worker wants to kill your customer, why didn't take away the rat poison and throw it away? The cook has already made clear her desire to put the poison in Cuenca's meal, so she doesn't seem to be the woman you can trust on cooking the meal of said customer.
• How Alexis immediately started to feel sick and vomited after eating the poisoned food when his father had eaten most of it and didn't feel bad nor vomited?
  • Difference in body size and amount of poison ingested?
  • Alexis had just witnessed his father getting stabbed, so the emotions/stress/gruesomeness of that likely got to him.
• Why the cook didn't kill Alexis after killing Cuenca? She said that he would grow up to be like his father and it seems that she cared for her fellow worker, so it seems logical that she would have killed Alexis to prevent him from possibly lie to the cops and tell them that the waitress aided her.

El Más Fuerte

• Why Diego simply didn't turn back to run Mario over if he was already escaping from him? Even though Mario threatened him to tell the police about pushing his car into the river because he had seen his license plate, Diego could have told the police that Mario damaged his car over an insult in the road, and Mario's damage on Diego's car can be clearly appreciated.
• When Diego fights for his life and ultimately grabs Mario from the leg to prevent his escape upon standing on his car door, causing the two to perish when the car is blown up, why Diego instead didn't take the opportunity to untie the seat belt around his neck and run away from there? They both could have survived if Diego had done exactly that, as the tow truck was about to arrive.

Bombita

• Throughout the short, Simón Fischer gets mad with the towing company and the Department of Motor Vehicles because they refuse to hear his complains that there were signs of a no-parking zone when he parked his car. And it's evident that he isn't the only victim of bureaucracy, as many other people are angry at the towing company for unfairly fining them. It would have not been more easy for Simón to form a protest group to complain to the government about the situation?
• Why Simón demands the towing company employee for his company to pay him back for the money he spend on the taxi? Even if the employee hadn't been corrupt and accepted to give him back his car without paying a fine, it was Simón's own decision to take a taxi when he could have walked all the way to the towed-car lot.
• I'm the only one who think that Victoria divorcing Simón over missing their daughter's birthday was too far and cruel? Even if he arrived late, he still came with the cake and they could have sing again, but Victoria coldly refuses while their daughter, while seemingly disappointed, doesn't seem to be really angry at her father for arriving late at her party. Granted, Victoria does have a point that Simón could have taken a taxi to arrive at the party and then he could have gone for his car, but Simón is right as well that there were no signs that the zone where he parked was a no-parking one.
• If Simón was fired from his company after the scandal he did on the Department of Motor Vehicles, how he still had explosives to detone his car at the towed-car lot?
• How plausible is that Simón calculated exactly for the bomb at his car to explode without killing anyone? Someone could have walked near his car when it was blown up and even the office where jerkish employee who attended him previously and a woman on his same situation were was affected by the explosion. It's such a miracle that the broken glass didn't kill them nor the fallen roof pieces...
• At then end, when Simón is visted by his wife and daughter at prison to celebrate his birthday, why his family was allowed to come to the dining room if all the inmates were there? IIRC, when you visit someone at prison, you and your incarcerated fellow are taken to a private room and checked by a guard.

La Propuesta

• Why the police allowed the husband of the victim to come to Santiago's house if he had already stated that he would get back at the murderer of his pregnant wife?
• Despite the implication that José gets killed by his "victim"'s husband at the end, is it possible that he may have survived? We only see him beating up José with a hammer two times before the screen fades in black, after which three more hammer sounds are heard, but maybe he didn't beat José on

Hasta Que La Muerte Nos Separe

• Common, Ariel. Why you invited Lourdes, the woman with whom you cheated with your wife, to your wedding especially after you told your wife that her number was that of your guitar teacher?
• How is possible that Lourdes survived her fall after Romina knocked her into a window while dancing crazily? She fell on some stairs and got many cuts by the broken glass.
  • That wasn't a window, it was a mirror. Besides, the cuts were probably weren't as bad as they looked.
