International Short Film Competition

In the heat of the Andalusian summer, young altar boy Elías doesn’t know what to do with himself. He sees something more in the heroic depictions of martyrs and a playful statue of Jesus. Fascinated by the suffering of saints, he’s fostering masochistic tendencies –⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ perhaps in an attempt to get closer to God. The struggle with repressed desire and faith, however, mainly reveals forbidden love. Passion and self-destructive behavior spiral out of control: but won’t his own faith flay him to the bone?
