Fobia

Different stages of the life — past, present and even future — of the legendary Argentine vedette Moria Casán, showing how her figure as a cultural icon was built.

Lava (2019), the animated film Ayar Blasco presented at the 34th edition of the Mar del Plata Film Festival, left many subplots unresolved in a sci-fi narrative in which an alien civilization dominated the planet through technological devices. This incompleteness, which could then be attributed to the director’s aesthetics, always free and prone to absurdity, was actually a pause that now, four years later, is resumed. The protagonist continues to be Débora, a somewhat insecure tattoo artist who ends up involved in the resistance when a new batch of invaders threatens to wipe out every single record of the human race. With the childlike strokes and the uncontrollably innocent humor characteristic of him, Blasco continues to shape his own epic, a hallucinated version of El Eternauta, with click beetles and all.

In each episode, which takes place independently of each other, commissioners Jiménez (Luis Luque) and Laurenzi (Darío Grandinetti) must solve different police cases that will be presented to them and will be a challenge for them, for which they will receive the help of the editor literary Daniel Hernández (Nicolás Cabré) who is looking to write a book about crimes.
