Afinidades

2011 · 90 min

A slow, humid psychological drama of lonely bodies reaching for each other, more uncomfortable than sensual, and quietly sad.

Directed by

Starring
Vladimir Cruz, Jorge Perugorría, Gabriela Griffith
Overview
Faced with the emptiness and lack of rational explanation for many of the problems of the contemporary world, it sometimes seems that the only solution is to take refuge in the instincts ... and instincts lead us to sex. At least this is the exit that find the protagonists of this story: sex as a shock to stay alive, the manipulation of others as a way to ward off impotence and reaffirm their personalities torn by loneliness. But the result is ephemeral and the attempt has unforeseen consequences.
