Rendezvous with Cinema. Tótem loba

The virtual film club «Rendezvous with Cinema» begins its 2023 program with Tótem loba, by Verónica Echegui.

Traditions can be the ideal excuse for barbarism. We see it often, and this powerful short film illustrates it perfectly. Verónica Echegui's directorial debut won the Goya Award, combining social overtones with an angry, hard-hitting thriller.

Synopsis: Estíbaliz accepts the invitation of her high school friend Raquel, to go to the parties in her town. What seems to be a fun and exciting weekend turns out to be a nightmare when Estíbaliz discovers that in her friend’s town the tradition is that the men dress up as wolves and go out to hunt the women at night. And what is even more terrifying is that no one seems to care or be alarmed by this terrifying and abominable custom.

The activity is moderated by Cervantes Institute's staff. The meetings, which take place in a live chat, have the participation of specialists to the film industry (filmmakers, screenwriters ...) Enjoy movies in Spanish!
