Riot Films

Toronto International Film Festival 2003

Explores the ambiguity of sensations, the boundaries between pleasure and pain, a filmmaker's piece about death as the final fetish and the ritual suicide Seppuku.

A survivor travels in search of the last bastion of civilization. Battling to survive, but never losing hope that something nostalgic from the past, which lives on in his memory, might still exist.

Walking through the lost boundaries of the kingdom, our hero finds his greatest enemy.

In the riverside neighbourhood of Oporto, all the children prove their courage by jumping from the stunning bridge Luis I into the Duero river. Leo has never done it before. He is different but he is getting tired of everyone thinking he is a coward.
