The Ramírez Head Horror Story
Ramírez's spirit cries out for justice and vengeance...and he won't rest in peace until he does.
13, March, 1876: Was born Francisco Ramírez, Supreme Leader of the Republic of Entre Ríos. He was assassinated and beheaded on July 10, 1821 at the age of 35.
His severed head was displayed on the tip of a spear at the death camp. It was then sent to López, who had it embalmed and displayed in a cage at the Cabildo de Santa Fe, later displaying it on his desk as a paperweight.
The work shows the courage, determination and bravery of a group of women from the environment of Francisco Ramírez, the Supreme Entre Ríos, determined to recover his head.
The head of Francisco Ramírez, 200 years later, still does not appear.

This film is a unique dramatic musical. Set on a single stage, it was filmed in two Theaters in 1850, with the audience in the seats, the orchestra in the foreground, sound engineers and technicians.
Colorimetry directly affects the sensations, feelings and contexts that the director wants to express to the audience. It brings drama and darkness to the plot.
The film's photography has a treatment to age the color, and another to convert each frame to black and white (there is also a sepia version and an experimental one with colored photography).
Recorded in a single take, it was filmed with a static, front-facing camera. This film, shot in sequence, has tricks, Gaussian blur, bokeh and saccades. “It's like spreading a translucent material like a veil over the image, which softens everything.”
Innovative and original in terms of the script and book. Between each of the fragments (11 shorts, series), as well as between them and the whole, there are obvious relationships, very close ties.
The obviousness of the relationships between the fragments is given by a logic that decisively privileges causality, centered on the characters. Causality, consequence, clear psychological motivations, desire to overcome obstacles and achieve objectives, in this case, recovering the severed and embalmed head of Francisco Ramírez are the driving forces of this classic film.
It is a one-piece, dramatic, markedly narrative film, in which all the cinematographic elements were subordinated to the narrative.
This production evokes the Golden Age of cinema. It is a piece of classic cinema. It is not a recreation. It is a new classic work for film, theater, TV and new media, adaptable to multiple formats.
This flexibility is due to a great script and all the composition.
More than 40 people worked with great professionalism on this theatrical film production. Thanks to actors and actresses. A very talented cast.
In “film noir”, the stories usually revolved around mystery, crimes and corruption. In these films, the character of the “femme fatale” was common, a type of female character who uses her sexuality to confuse the protagonist.
La Delfina is the femme fatale, brave, determined and Colonel, an outstanding soldier of her time, desired and loved by the Supreme of E.R. to death.
Its premiere will be in 2024. It is our contribution to the Centennial of the Golden Decade (30 - 40). A glorious era, which, like today, was born from a great crisis. Historical drama was also important at this time and was responsible for the creation of several productions.
