La Solapa

Argentina  | 2019 | 15 minutes  | Director: Laura Sanchez Acosta 

During a hot summer afternoon at their grandmother’s county house in Entre Ríos, Malena terrifies her little brother Santiago with a local myth in which kids are watched by pigeons and captured by a horrendous monster if they don’t take a nap. 

Deathly bored and despite of Santiago’s request to stay inside, Malena goes to look for internet with her cellphone in the forest nearby, without knowing the consequences that a simple walk under the sun can unleash.

Laura Sanchez Acosta was born in Entre Ríos. As a horror movie enthusiastic, she worked at the production, scriptwriting, art, editing and vfx of several films and tv shows, being the most outstanding: “RELICTO” her first feature film as a director, "DAEMONIUM" directed by Pablo Parés, and her most recent film “LA SOLAPA”, a short film winner of 2017 Blood Window Contest.
