Synopsis

Spanish with English subtitles

A young woman obsessed with her image takes a journey into the labyrinth of her own perception, turning her body into a prison for the world to see and living the self-destructive dream of becoming what she is not. This incredible sensitive film premiered at the Venezia International Film Festival, and many more followed to that, proving Eduardo as a Spanish filmmaker to watch.
