A Monster With a Thousand Heads

Un monstruo de mil cabezas

2015 | Mexico | Color | 75 min.

In a desperate attempt to save her husband’s life by accessing the medical treatment that he needs to survive, Sonia embarks on a chase against her corrupt and negligent insurance company and its complicit representatives — leading her son and herself into a vertiginous spiral of violence. A wounded animal doesn’t cry, it bites.
