Synopsis

Five teenagers wander in the woods. They move around as if they were in a sort of imaginary labyrinth they themselves appear to be defining –and from which we don’t know if they actually want or can leave– while they entertain themselves playing word games. Problems seem to be related to time and space: these ones seem to repeat themselves, and there’s no notion of forwardness or destination. Time is seemingly still, and nighttime never comes. Isabel is the only one in the group who perceives something is wrong.

In order to set this weird space-time perception, Jazmín López’s great sensitivity and radical approach works on the images in a plastic and cinematographic way –through long sequence shots and a great steady-cam work– tensing the limits of language and playing with it in a way that poses us the question about the possible forms of representation.

A recording audio and the finding of the car the group was travelling both enable Isabel to comprehend the circumstances of the accident that led them to this tragic reality that is so close to fantasy. VB
