Experiencing Interruptions?

CONFESION

The priest Adrián is giving the anointing of the sick to Natalia, a dying woman who confesses her sin: she made the online sale of a 6-year-old girl and will donate the money obtained to his Church. During the process, Adrián discovers his connection with Natalia in his past and with the girl in his present. Now Adrián is torn between wanting to kill her right there or keeping her alive in order to find the girl's whereabouts.

Director Statement

Human nature that is as brutal as it is
changeable, that its going back and forth
between the emotional and the rational;
from the heaven to the hell, it was, is and will
continue to being the engine of reflections,
motivations and regrets. Like all of us,
"Adrian" y "Natalia" explore the corners
where sin, repentance, forgiveness,
punishments, resentment, heaven, hell,
love, abuse and the actions and emotions
that swirl around them.
