Description

U.S. Premiere


Argentine actress Agustina Muñoz (playing a version of herself) travels to the Azores Islands to perform in a production of The Tempest with the Galician company Voadora. But upon her arrival she is thrown by the peculiar eccentricities of the inhabitants that make even checking into her hotel a perplexing affair. She soon finds Ariel, who serves as a guide on this island where the real and the imaginary, the dreamlike and the spectral, seem to merge in an ambiguous space. Born out of an exploration of Ariel from The Tempest, the film incorporates a variety of characters from Shakespeare's work, reflecting on the poetry, humanity, and depth of the texts.
