Beth and Francis are a young couple expecting their first child. On a trip to Mexico, they go to a paradise island far off the coast, where everything seems perfect: the sun, the beach full of children, the pier... But the atmosphere soon takes a turn for the bizarre and the two newly-weds realize that they are the only adults on the island. The truth appears in all its horror when Francis sees a girl beat an old man to death: there’s no time to understand, he has to get his wife and child to safety.

Declaration
film director
“For a time now I have been torn and disgusted of seeing stupid modern life. We grow confused at what really matters. That’s why I am devoted to make this horror stories, to remind us who we are without a cell phone. An old proverb says that is better to murder during time of plague. I would say the same when we talk about cinema. People watching stupid heroes saving the world, when the world is surrounded by pain. Cinema should teach us about pain. That’s why I make these precious sad stories. To remind us that life is limited and that we are gonna die.”
