A man and a woman meet on a desolate road. Sometimes chivalry can be dangerous.
"Ponchada is an allegory. It reflects on the ironic and unpredictable side of life. What excites me is the chance to create images, states of mind, and characters, without having to be worried that the story has already been told a thousand times. Its meaning will always be new. I think it is a privilege to give life to a microcosm." (Alejandra Moya).
