The Amazing Catfish (Spanish: Los insólitos peces gato) is a 2013 Mexican comedy-drama film, written and directed by Claudia Sainte-Luce.
It stars Ximena Ayala as Claudia, a young woman who becomes a caretaker for Martha (Lisa Owen), an older matriarch dying of AIDS.
It had its North American premiere on September 10, 2013 at the 2013 Toronto International Film Festival, and was named winner of the FIPRESCI Discovery Prize.
Claudia eats dinner with the family, but the meal ends early when Wendy must help Martha to the bathroom where she vomits up her food.
Claudia takes Mariana and Armando to school since Wendy and Ale are both unable to, and begins to bond with the two.
While everybody else enters the hospital with Martha, Claudia stands outside, then grabs her backpack, the fish tank, and walks away.
