Private Project

Moscas

Luz has become a new age spiritual believer to stay afloat and make sense of a marriage, a social status and a family that hangs on fragile threads. When a miracle is needed to brighten her future, Moscas, the family dog ​​who was found dead, returns from the dead, or so it seems. Luz remains reluctant in face of the paranormal event while her husband insists that Moscas's return is infallible proof of what they profess.

Director Statement

Moscas is an exploration of Luz’s confusion, a woman whom an apparently inexplicable event takes from her the only indisputable certainty we have: the totality of death. Alienated by a middle-class esotericism that is amplified by her manipulative husband, the story seeks to emphasize the importance of taking action in a reality that is always in turmoil, always in conflict and therefore in constant construction.
