Marionette



Álvaro Curiel de Icaza : 2019
Marioneta

Ernesto is a Cuban actor desperately looking for an opportunity in Mexico City. In a fortuitous way he crosses paths with Belén, a street artist who is unaware of her real talent. The underground subway world is the place where fate has prepared an unexpected encounter for them, which will turn their lives upside down. She introduces him to David Torrico, a man without scruples who doesn't hesitate when it comes to manipulating the lives of people. The film takes us to the hidden world of Mexico City, where the beggars are dominated by a dark capo. While playing and flirting with the meaning of being an actor and being able to escape the daily routine, it introduces us to a curious catalogue of quirky characters which surround the complex relationship that Ernesto and Belén try to build. Álvaro Curiel de Icaza's feature premiered at FotoFilm Tijuana 2019, and had its international premiere in competition at Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival 2019.
