Después de 15 años Mateo, un engreído contador regresa a la casa de su infancia para honrar la memoria de su madre recién fallecida. De paso, tendrá que convivir con su padre, un alcohólico al que no soporta y con una criatura en forma de ave que lo aterroriza todas las noches.
"Black and white photography, the unsettling presence of a bird-like entity, an urban, industrial, and dirty setting. We could certainly talk about 'Estanislao' as the Mexican cousin –and less surreal– of 'Eraserhead', by David Lynch. However, while the latter deals with the anguish of parental future, Alejandro Guzmán Alvárez's feature film works in the opposite direction, diving into the past, resentments, frustrations of the fragmented family nucleus and their repercussions in adult life, where reality paints a desolate picture. With one foot in the realm of fantasy, it suggests something as abstract and ambiguous as it is terrifying, as a background and counterpoint to a sordid panorama."
