After working together in Rojo (2018), director Benjamín Naishtat and actor Alfredo Castro meet again to talk about the terror, pleasure and mystery that making a movie represents.

For them uncertainty is an essential factor in filming: the director does not know all the answers and the actor does not know which character will reincarnate in his body. When trying to describe the experience of a shoot, both agree that the essence of creation is madness.

Castro and Naishtat demand a subversive cinema that cannot be tamed by current models and that is capable of using the imagination to retell history.
