Visitas

Elements from melodrama, the absurd, tragedy and suspense find themselves in this trilogy to draw a psychological sketch of violence. Through the subtle relationship of three stories and the life situations of their respective protagonists, VISITAS, far from limiting itself to recreate the common places of violence in Latin America, situates us in violence's dark alleyways. Here victim and assailant exchange roles unexpectedly . There are no definite culprits, neither obvious redeemers. The only sure thing is that the act of violence could emerge at any moment, given our inherent capacity to reach both sacredness and cruelty. It is not about violence as an outside experience from which one needs to find protection, but violence as an innermost drive, always threatening to dismantle the precarious balance of our lives. The Three Stories I. La Visita Irene is a woman from the upper classes who has recently divorced.
