Loud noises and lights, bombs and gunshots are the rhythm of progress and catharsis at a party. ANO decides to leave the city. He sets off on foot on an erratic journey, in which the landscape reflects back an apocalyptic image of the present and a foreshadowing of the future. Deserto Vértigo is an exploration of the psychological state of our current collapse, a surreal, agonising, yearning film.
