synopsis

This is a mystery story. A story about falling in love and falling out of love. A psychological thriller in “neo-Film Noir” style with aspects of neuroscience, substances, humor, hormones, tears, passion and blood. It is the story of Helen, the men and women around her, and her mysterious isolation tank.  The backdrop is Mexico City, full of contrasts and compulsively alive. The story lives in its characters, their worlds and emotions, and so the visual and esthetic focus is on them and not on the world around them.
