El Llanto • Something is haunting Andrea, a young university student, but no one, not even her, knows what it is. Twenty years ago, ten thousand kilometers away, in La Plata, Argentina, the same presence terrorized Marie. Camila, a film student working on a short documentary about Marie, was the only person who could understand what was happening to her, but no one believed her. In each case, when the women attempt to confront the presence, they hear the same horrific wailing. Martín Calero’s spine-chilling horror film acts as a metaphor of the psychological impact of violence against women.
