Synopsis

In an unnamed city, a beauty salon becomes a space of passage where those cast out gather, suspended between life and death. At its center is the Individuo, a solitary presence who tends to this place without explanation. Time and place dissolve into one another as what is lived, remembered, and imagined coexist in continuous movement, where meaning emerges through ritual, drift, and return. Within this space, beauty and death intertwine, forming a meditation on the fragility of existence.

““A radical and sensorial film hovering between bodies, memory and disquiet.””
