Synopsis

Alek grows up without a clear story about his origin. The death of his mother and the confinement of his father remain suspended in a void that never organizes itself into memory. As an adult, he lives in a persistent drift, avoiding any attempt to reconstruct his family history. When his girlfriend sees him unraveling, she pulls him out of that state and takes him to a party at a vineyard, believing it to be nothing more than a celebration. The night turns out to be a ritual that displaces Alek to 1997. S y n o p s i s Alek wakes up in the body of another man who used to frequent the same spaces his parents inhabited before committing to each other. He begins moving through a past he does not fully recognize. When he witnesses a moment of intimacy between Hany and Jim, access to that past deepens. Scenes stop following a linear logic and begin opening in fragments. Among them appears Hany’s attempt at abortion, interrupted by a force that does not manifest directly, the god Dionysus ; but interferes and imposes a limit over her body. From that point on, Hany’s life narrows: motherhood is imposed, marriage consolidates, and her relationship with the world grows increasingly harsh. As Alek continues to observe, that force begins reorganizing what he can see and when. The past stops behaving like memory and imposes itself as experience, erasing the distance between witness and participant. In the final stretch, Dionysus uses Alek’s anger to turn it into action. Space collapses and reshapes into the cinema bathroom where Hany’s death occurred. She ages before his eyes, and Alek ends up killing her. Dionysus achieves his aim and receives him as his own.
