CABO SAN LUCAS, Mexico – Mexican tearjerker The Amazing Cat Fish and the Canadian dramedy Sarah Prefers to Run shared top honors at the 2nd edition of the Baja International Film Festival.

The Amazing Cat Fish (Los Insolitos Peces Gatos), which had its world premiere at Locarno in August, is the feature-film debut of writer-director Claudia Sainte-Luce. The story centers on a lonely girl who is drawn into a family dealing with a terminally ill mother. The Mexico-France production won the official Mexico First competition.
