WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
In this highly anticipated US Premiere directed by Mariano Pensotti, damaged photographs pieced together by an indie rock anthem by the band Of Montreal tell the epic and cinematic chronicle of the lives of four young Argentinians between 1999-2009.

El pasado es un animal grotesco / The past is a grotesque animal performs as part of the COIL 2012 Festival.

Thankfully, the Argentine production [...]
