Si no ardemos, cómo iluminar la noche - Les Reflets du Cinéma / Cinéville

Laura, an introverted thirteen-year-old girl, arrives in a village surrounded by palm plantations and a towering forest. As she adapts to the new configuration of her family, Laura begins to glimpse a hidden world where there is a story of a beast that inhabits the forest and feeds on women. At first she dismisses the story as a childish fantasy, but when she meets the charismatic Daniela, their friendship takes her on a journey that reveals the true nature of the beast.

It's a suspended film with a disturbing strangeness. The elegance of the direction and the incredible work on the sound win you over. Fascinating. - Atmosphères 53
