Cold Light

A film by Rogelio Rodriguez

Synopsis

In the middle of the night, a beaten young woman is tied to a chair and about to be buried alive by an old big farmer. Being in the middle of nowhere, she seems to have no escape but trying to talk her way out of there. How did she get to be in that position? Only a miracle could help her.

Vision

In this globalized world, we constantly keep facing the same community issues that have chased us during human history. The prejudgment we have against others. The people that don’t think like us, the people that don’t believe the same things as us, and especially the people that don’t look like us. The intolerance to “The Other”.

This is an issue that I feel very passionate about, and a theme that we see throughout this story. All the characters make assumptions that end up leading them down a dark and nightmarish path. They all prejudge “The Other” just as the audience could do as well.

And why not! Having some fantasy intervention always adds some extra flavor.
