简介：In a dystopian city (that seems to be Lima), Teo, a twelve year old boy, works with his father Luis on a mysterious machine that seeks to generate a deluge in a city where it does not rain. Luis, obsessed with making the machine work, puts the machine at risk in the face of constant embargoes and threats from the authorities. Teo, seeking to help his father, gets involved with a gang of young spies, actually bringing turmoil to the relationship with Luis.
In a film with no certain time or context, between neo-noir and sci-fi, debutant V. Checa creates a whole universe with austere resources but bright (and dark) ideas. From the intrepid Teo’s point of view, the ghost city seems like a mystery fight between body sensation and human feelings versus obsession for machines, a really contemporary dystopia.
