Carro de Baco |
|
by
Germán Madrid |
directed by
Antonia Castillo |
|
|
Two strangers in a
bathroom. A worrying meeting. Dark mystery in the most everyday place.
The secret is untangled little by little; there where clothes are
rumpled and truth is strengthened. Cleanliness
transcends the body and offers its attributes to the soul.

It’s not bad news... it’s humor! Quick-witted, funny and relentless!
It’s hard not to
laugh at these actors’ light-hearted antics, where jokes have profound
innocence and comments turn out tenderly in an exquisite variety show.
