FILM SYNOPSIS: Inspired by Mexican horror films from the 1970s and Alfred Hitchcock, the film takes place in an imaginary city, which could be in Mexico or the US, and plays with urban legends and myths from both countries: a lover who comes back from the other world to haunt, a movie diva and a surrealist artist practising spiritism to stop a possible murder. In the midst of all, Mexican wrestlers and socialites enjoy a Sunday afternoon in an art gallery, beautifully styled and evoking several icons from the arts, fashion and arts.
