They say that María la oscura locked the gate and no one ever saw her again… They say that that storm was caused by María, with her furious weeping…

Alvaro is a boy living with his mother in the countryside. One day, he discovers that his blood is extraordinary. This rather unusual discovery, aside from some immediate benefits, doesn’t seem to be important to Alvaro, who is more focused on understanding what life is all about. This witty and colorful comedy mocks beliefs and superstitions, acknowledging how miraculous it is to make it through adolescence.

Mamántula is the boy everyone wants, but also a giant spider transvesting as a human, fruit of a brief encounter in the Berlin Tiergarten, in an alternate past of brutalist saunas, endless subway corridors and detectives with raincoats and hats. Each of Mamántula's lovers are a new victim of his insatiable appetite for revenge and sperm; and each victim, one more thread of the web with which he intends to apprehend the entire planet. Will Golden Dick be able to stop him? Will a couple of lovebirds with police badges get him? Or will the gay community have to step in and take the law into their own hands?

In "un viento roza tu puerta", tradition mixes with the songs and voices of the past and present, which begin to rise from the earth like little dusty reminders, speaking of a violence perhaps premonitory, perhaps forgotten.

The caves of Almería where Conan the Barbarian was filmed bear the profound imprint that cinema leaves on the places where it is shot. What happens when the myth of fiction fades? Can we reuse that imprint to imagine something different through it?
