Carlos Vermut : 2014
Luis is desperate to fulfil his terminally ill daughter Alicia's last wish: to own the prohibitively expensive 'Magical Girl Yukiko' dress from her favourite Japanese cartoon. Unemployed, with no prospects, and blinded with grief, Luis turns to extortion when he crosses paths with the beautiful, mentally disturbed Bárbara. Her marriage threatened by the blackmail, Bárbara reluctantly complies with his scheme, even as it sends her spiralling into a world of danger and degradation. Seeking revenge on Luis, she turns for help to the only person who truly knows how damaged she is: retired teacher Damián, who has dark secrets of his own. The trio descends into an infernal cycle of deception and double-crosses, in which instincts and reason will struggle in a tragic battle, changing their lives forever. Carlos Vermut's second feature premiered in the Discovery section at Toronto International Film Festival 2014. It was the winner of the Golden Shell for Best Film, and the Silver Shell for Best Director at its European premiere in competition at San Sebastián International Film Festival 2014.
