Unfolding meDirector: Natalia PájaroCountry: MexicoYear: 2025Genre: Experimental, AnimationDuration: 8 min
A simile between error and the disease of mood disorder, understanding error as something random, incomprehensible, disruptive. In three sleepless nights, Henrietta experiences a psychotic breakdown, in which her self becomes detached from her body. There is no talk of madness, but of a situation out of control. Using visual metaphors we talk about the denial of oneself, the immobility of the body and the separation of body and mind, divided into three acts.
