01 · 16 · 13 Halley represents Mexico at Sundance 2013 Share with twitter Share with facebook Share with mail Copy to clipboard Halley by Sebastián Hofmann After his first screening at the 10th FICM, Sebastián Hofmann described his film as “a grotesquely sweet film, it confronts us with our own reality and with our own decadence”. Halley shows the story of a man who suffers from a terrible affliction; his body decomposes inexplicably. Struggling with feelings of loneliness and shame, he decides to withdraw from the world. But before surrendering to his condition, he forms an unusual friendship with the manager of the gym where he works as a night guard. The Sundance audience will be faced with Hofmann’s vision in four screenings, on January 18, 19, 21 and 26. Those who plan to assist the festival can check out Halley’s schedule: here.
