Common Causes for a Clinical Condition

2016 · 29 min

A quiet, cerebral short that folds theatre rehearsal into political grief, asking patience as it drifts between memory and loss.

Directed by
Julián Hernández
Genres
Drama
Starring
Giovanna Zacarías, Axel Arenas, Baltimore Beltrán
Overview
María rehearses Antigone the same way as she criticizes the government's actions; Ismene listens fearfully just as Irving reluctantly accepts the official version of a lie. Love only has consciousness in its disappearance; in the end the causes will be known, and only the memory of those who refuse to forget will be left with no consequence.
