MAMÁNTULA
Ion de sosa45 Mins s16mm 1:66 Color Reversible 2023 Germany/Spain
Mamantula is the lover everyone desires, but it is also, secretly, a huge tarantula transformed into a human, engendered during a brief encounter in a faraway paradise. In an paralell present of brutalist saunas, endless subway corridors and detectives in trench coats and hats, each of Mamantula's lovers becomes a victim of her voracious lust for blood and semen; one more thread in the stellar spider's web he is weaving to return to the dimension where he belongs.
