Synopsis
The Earth has stopped spinning. Time is at a standstill. As eternal twilight beckons, a ravenous beast stalks through the forest enveloped in a thick, toxic fog. In the forest stands a cabin, where young Argel has spent all his life locked in the basement with his two siblings. When Argel’s older brother Marcos disappears, he sets off on a quest that will break with all of the realities that he knows. Director Daniel Castro Zimbrón hauntingly conjures up a tale about the myths we construct to make sense of the world. As he unravels Argel’s sinuous familial relationships, terrifying secrets come to the fore, making us question exactly how much we know about the people closest to us. With claustrophobic camerawork and an oppressive atmospheric tension, Zimbrón draws us further and further into the shadows of the apocalyptic world.
