Some time ago, I decided not to make any more synopsis of my films. I want people to arrive without knowing what they are going to see. There won't be a trailer either; they lie and never really reflect the spirit of the film. Thank you for understanding. RP

In his new cinematic adventure, Raúl Perrone makes a new incursion into the Japanese out of Ituzaingó in order to shape the variations of a story that revolves around a woman who cuts dead people’s hair, a samurai with an intolerable mission, a nosy burglar, a feudal lord on the verge of insanity and a giant metal fish. The film is freely inspired in the original version of Rashomon –written by Ryūnosuke Akutagawa– and, as usual in his filmography since P3ND3JO5 (2013), Perrone blends different elements from classical film; in this case, visible ghosts from Kurosawa’s cinema and certain aspects of Japan’s traditional culture melt with nightmarish distortions and machinistical irruptions, typical of a future that may never come. “The avant-garde is in the past” he once said in an interview. In his reimagining of film history, Perrone again finds an inexhaustible field of expression.

A portrait of five young workers from Ituzaingó during their summer vacation. The country's structural violence hangs like a dark cloud over them, and the sale of cocaine is a way to cope with the lack of employment and future prospects that have reduced their lives to mere survival. We see them mainly in a public park where they can play sports, listen to live music, or just hang out.

I decided a long time ago not to do any more synopses of my films. I want people to arrive without knowing what they are going to watch. There won't be a trailer either – they're liars AND they never really reflect the spirit of the film. Thanks for understanding.

Edgardo Cozarinsky was the Marqués of Sade for a couple of hours. It happened in a Raúl Perrone movie…
