Plot
At a wake one night in 1945, a group of aged women recall the events of the past, in a tale of passion and ghosts.
Sinekatalog’s take
Raúl Ruiz's drama, from Alejandro Rojo, is theatrical and fantastical, a baroque Chilean ghost story.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
