Arturo Maciel

A vision from Limbo, where the canoeist of the eternal lake floats in his boat, between sleep and wakefulness. When he sleeps, he dreams of the everyday of a parallel time. when he wakes up, the same song haunts him again and again. his boat, “ara” (time, in guarani) travels through time like a shooting star.

Part essay, part performance, and part documentary, the film is based on the director’s exploration of a recurring image of burning beds in the Latin American LGBTIQ imaginary, and the emotions these images evoke in their transnational queer friendships.
