Tinta Sangre

2013 · 94 min · Comedy, Drama

A black comedy that portraits a chain of six romances united by chance. In Tinta Sangre the protagonists are the city of Quito, its characters and its inner world. Loves and heartbreak are the thread of this film, and the constant question that all of them ask is why we call it love when we mean addiction.

Directed by Mateo Herrera · Written by Ana Cristina Franco
