El Nazareno
Six girls receive the call of a force that attracts them to undertake away to begin a sensory ceremony. Between skirts of polka dots and guitar chords, all of them prepare to say goodbye one of them. Far from being a mere representation of the myth of witchcraft, this short film combines fantasy and criticism of a phenomenon as fictitious as it is real.
