El Espanto
In a remote village in Argentina, home-made cures replace traditional medicine. Every ailment is treated by neighbours except “El Espanto”, a rare disease that affects women and can only be cured with the mysterious abilities of a peculiar old man from the outskirts of town, whom no husband wants to see visiting their wife… In this town, evils and antidotes are born, mythologies and their detractors appear. A strange micro-world populated by eccentric characters that spontaneously introduce us to comical and human situations combined with religious beliefs and esotericism.
