By: Eduardo Casanova

With: Macarena Gómez, Carolina Bang, Jon Kortajarena

A girl with an anus instead of a mouth. A boy who dreams of becoming a mermaid – by cutting his legs off. An eyeless young prostitute that wears diamonds in the place of her missing eyes. The morbidly colorful debut of director Eduardo Casanova transgresses the human body in more than one way. Still, he portrays his grotesquely deformed protagonists in a decidedly humanist way and far from any cynicism.
