docummentary short titled Vestidito Blanco como la Leche Nido, Un

(Centro de Capacitación Cinematográfica) in Mexico City. After that,
Carrera made his first feature, Mujer de Benjamín, La (1991). This film

prizes in film festivals. After his second feature film, Vida conyugal,
La (1993), Carrera made Héroe, El (1994), an animated short winner of
the Golden Palm at Cannes Festival.
