    • Synopsis
    • A story of characters lost in their own uncertainty, foundering for unknown reasons, cursing their own instincts, animal instincts.
      Mario and Julio are on their own, they meet, they cling to each other, they hurt one another, each other, themselves, they don’t know what do to with what’s happening, they can’t allow it, they won’t recognise it, they act, behave, something goes wrong, the inside, the sickness, rotting away, they react as best they can, as anyone can in the face of love, the thin line between love and grief is crossed.
      With dramatic flare reinforced in the images’ plasticity, an uprooted world is created, anchored in the untimeliness of the absurd.
      Mario is a gamecock breeder, he breeds cockfighting roosters, accustomed to his solitude, he spends his days training in the company of his roosters, he lives doing odd jobs in rural areas, on one of these he travels to a far off town, there he meets Julia, a lady from before who lost her family in an accident, she is alone, clinging to her dead and her religion. He discovers emotions, she transgresses her limits. They didn’t know what to do, they broke a pact.
