A dramatic alegory of human manipulation and pulsions. This movie contrats North Korea effect on people from idolatry to murdee and despair with a troubled Spanish family affair.

Suicide, murder, mothers and birth. Sickness and safety, comforr and failed liberty. The juxtapoaition of the two worlds and stories is innovative. It strikes both the dramatic chords and the humourous situations and dialog.

A macabre undertone with well-written material hoñds the viewer entranced, shoked, unsure.. A choice of decor and colours tell a story with intelligence and litlle condescendence. Beautiful and successful diligence.

A worthy effort from Spanish writer/director in one of many fine Argentinian co-production.

80min Fantasia Film Festival 2022.

No pun intended - as you may have noticed in the short movie the director did many years ago, he does like a particular color. No worries if you haven't, you'll see it right away. Maybe it is too much for you, maybe the way the movie is on the nose is too much for you too ... or maybe it is the fact that it is quite violent in some places and quite explicit (in regards of nudity) in other places.

A love of a mother can be suffocating - and there is no better example of that, than in the movie right here. Yes you can make the case that the movie makes the point early on and you may feel that the 80 minutes run time is still too long. Or you can go with the flow and enjoy the madness and the back and forth. And understand that the "Stockholm Syndrom" can also be applied to Dictators. Again not for the squeamish and faint of hearted ... but if you can dig or rather accept the artful use of certain imagery ... you will have quite the field day here.

One of the favorites for me from the "newcomer" section at the Fantasy Filmfest. Great acting and really crazy (read good) ideas.
