Our take

This mesmeric film acts as an oneiric and melancholic allegory on the sorrows of exile through the enigmatic character of Fabián Cortes. A rare film directed by the underknown Argentine director Hugo Santiago, and written in part by the Spanish writer Jorge Semprún, who both lived in exile in Paris.
