El cielo de los animales

The Heaven of Animals, the filming of which (in Super 16 mm) finished a few days ago, tells stories about the past and future deceased; those who were, those who will be and those who are leaving us before our eyes. In one of the episodes, Diego (played by Raúl Arévalo), abandoned by his wife, meets Amanda (Paula Díaz), a nineteen-year-old girl with an amputated arm, a trampoline jumper, a bit of a dreamer and a troublemaker. From this encounter a fleeting and magical relationship will be born: a one-armed mermaid and a disoriented man in free fall. In another episode, Fran (Jesús Carroza) and Benicio (Manolo Solo) go to collect the belongings of the recently deceased father of one of them, whom they have not heard from for many years. On the way, they discover that the dead man is someone known in the area as the Lizard Man. There, in that big house in the middle of nowhere, they will come to understand why. And in the third episode, Darío (Diego Portalo) and Gracia (África de la Cruz) are a couple in their twenties who have known each other since they were children. One day she receives a call from the man announcing the end of the world and they have to barricade themselves in the basement: the girl, accustomed to Darío＇s cyclical crises, accompanies him in his paranoia.
