About
A particular detective searches for the destination of the bodies of the disappeared detainees, while simultaneously interrogating characters suspected of having information. A smiling woman digs in the desert hoping to find some piece of her brother. A skull, split in three, tries to signal its whereabouts to the surface to be found. It makes jokes, counts grains of sand, and plays at guessing where it is. The dead without bodies have a voice that resonates in hidden spaces of nature while they wait to turn to dust. They cannot move, but they dream.
Language: Spanish
