Summary: Super Human, a six minute, 20 second short, deals with suicide (a popular subject in his features) and Reygadas's own questions regarding God. It opens with a narration. The main character remembers a conversation he had with his mother: If you commit suicide should you go to heaven? (Reygadas has said in interviews he feels it's a great human capacity to end our lives if we want.) His mother responds by telling him that what God gives us, only He can take back.

As with the debut of another accomplished filmmaker, Sofia Coppola (Lick the Star), Carlos Reygadas's Maxhumain comes off as if too on-the-nose. Working within the confines of an especially limited runtime, he seems to subconsciously limit his mode of expression to the strictly masturbatory. For all the short's thinking, it lacks the profound sense and spirituality of his later Battle in Heaven.
