IMDb

Jorge Villafañez is a lonely detective living in a high-rise apartment in Buenos Aires. He has a knack for making people open up to him in conversations. As he descends into the rising waters of the Rio de la Plata, we get glimpses of his horrific professional history. A shape-shifting work, the film sets out like the Argentine take on Hitchcock's Vertigo but finds its own path, employing unusual edits, archival footage, surreal interludes and delightful genre shifts.

“We worked together on some projects and started thinking about an adaptation. We came across La Sudestada, the comic book of the same name by Juan Sáenz Valiente. As we read it, we realised it affords good material for reworking. His is a world of incredibly powerful expressiveness, with the potential for further creativity. We also felt a deep personal connection with him. When we started thinking about the cast, our first choice was Katja Alemann. Through talks with Katja, we jointly built the character of choreographer Elvira Schulz. Katja has worked extensively, from experimental film with her mother to performance art. She is an icon; we believe she has not yet been accorded the recognition she deserves.” (Daniel Casabé, Edgardo Dieleke)
