A grim tale of hidden undercurrents: desires, fears, manipulation, and animal instincts vie with each other in a maelstrom of passions and pitfalls. In some of the ideas and images, dream
merges with reality. The result is portrayed as a hall of mirrors, with female oppression and male dominance and egocentricity.
The narrative is based on the fear and bewilderment of the main character’s nightmare, interacting with her deep-rooted fear of her own, subconscious lusts. A pretty young woman, driven by the sadism of an egomaniac and her own, apparently unwilling oppression, mutates into a human marionette, “muñeca”.
She seeks oblivion, attempts to fee from herself, her experiences, and her dreams. One of her acquaintances – a real person – becomes a symbol of evil in a bizarre dream and drags her soul into a yawning chasm of fear and humiliation. Her inner power struggle begins. Will she find an exit? What is reality, and what is surreal?
