Set in limbo sometime between the 20th and 21st century. Isolated in a world in which time no longer exists, three characters, worn down by desolation and disenchantment, meet. A beautiful conceptual artist with bat-wings, Ainda is trying to escape from her sex maniac husband, who, although he was killed in a car crash, refuses to leave her alone.
She comes across two young adults, Diego, an innocent looking blond, who wants to make a video film, and Ximena, educated in a Catholic institution, who is following him in search of unusual images; and a mystical and intense love affair develops between the three of them. The disturbing world that these characters inhabit cannot be defined in space or time; it is violent, sexual, and people lose themselves in it, seeking a place for themselves, an identity, whatever might be the cost. The existence of a god is an open question, whilst that of a powerful and influential devil leaves no room for doubt. An assemblage of video images, animation, in which the darkest hues follow upon dazzling and saturated colour, Alejandro Valle’s film combines various genres.
Revisiting classics and fairytales, from silent films to 30s horror movies, and scenes worthy of Saturday Night Fever drenched in an aesthetic reminiscent of that of the artists Pierre & Gilles, he disorients the viewer, encouraging him or her to let themselves be carried away by the excitement. The filmmaker is thus seeking to interrogate his era, that he seems to define with the word «transition».
So he explores the bridges from one millenium to another, from adolescence to adulthood, from life to death. With his baroque and contorted mise en scène he relives those moments of intense emotion, supposition, crazy hope and terrible anxieties that wrack human beings with all their uncertainties.
