Roberto is an insurance salesman, but sets out to write a novel to escape the routine of his everyday life. By chance, he meets Estela, a mysterious young woman who dominates him more and more. Roberto meets Estela’s family and, as he gets to know them, he becomes trapped in a web where fantasy, madness and violence intertwine. There he encounters a decomposed human group, on a vertiginous descent into the past, clinging to hopes that still exist like castaways desperately struggling to survive. Winner in eight categories at the Silver Condor Awards, including best film, director, original screenplay and soundtrack.
