Description:
Félix, Sofía, Arturo, Niki and Isabel wander around a forest. They seem to be on holiday, but something is off; they find themselves lost in Leones, a labyrinth with no walls, ruled by laws that they will have to figure out. As they march on, they sing and seduce each other, they lie on the ground and play with words.
Isabel asks repeatedly to stop and eat, but they don’t seem hungry. Nobody eats and nobody sleeps, except for her. Niki records himself singing. When he plays back the tape, they hear their voices in a car, laughing and listening to music as they drive. A recorded Isabel says they must find the house, it’s
Félix, Sofía, Arturo, Niki and Isabel wander around a forest. They seem to be on holiday, but something is off; they find themselves lost in Leones, a labyrinth with no walls, ruled by laws that they will have to figure out. As they march on, they sing and seduce each other, they lie on the ground and play with words.
Isabel asks repeatedly to stop and eat, but they don’t seem hungry. Nobody eats and nobody sleeps, except for her. Niki records himself singing. When he plays back the tape, they hear their voices in a car, laughing and listening to music as they drive. A recorded Isabel says they must find the house, it’s going to rain soon. She mentions a map inside her backpack and when the tape stops, they go through her things and find she has a map indeed. Niki leaves the recorder lying on the grass while no one’s around; sounds of traffic on a freeway can be heard, screeching tires: a crash.
The map leads them to the holiday house, but before going in they find their crashed car. All of them get scared and Isabel can no longer hide what went wrong. She gets into the car and the music playing is the same they heard on the tape. Rain starts, she cries; the rest of the kids run away trying to find shelter under the trees. They’re near Isabel, but not truly near anymore.
The ocean is omnipresent through its dim, distant sound. When it finally appears before them, they see that Isabel is already there.
