One hint, 6 chances, and a new movie to guess every day
Karla arrives in Tijuana, Mexico to stay at her estranged aunt's house a year after her father's death. In this moment of solitude and calm, she looks up, down, inward and outward through the transpositional alchemy of text and is reminded that speaking to oneself feels like a vital human practice.
"The ability to communicate is one of the greatest of both humans and animals. In this short film, which fits well with the coronavirus pandemic, it makes small strokes of what could be an anxiety crisis - there is a scene where the protagonist is driving while filling and emptying a bladder, a practice usually used to calm down when you are short of breath due to a crisis. Not only that, the fact that she is also alone at home, in the human sense, as she has the presence of kittens and communicating with acquaintances through audio on her cell phone. In this context, the protagonist weaves a dialogue with the viewer - which is somewhat tiring - but quite reflective. This is a very honest portrait of what it is like to live alone and how the four walls of a house can become our greatest defense system and security, in relation to the problems that plague the world."
