THE GARDEN OF MY POISON (El jardin de mi veneno)

The film reflects social problems in a poetic way, based on the alienation effect by Bertol Brecht.
The ancient tradition of Courland, next to the Baltic Sea, mythological celebration of Solstice jumping bonfires and making oak wreaths reflected in the urban environment of Madrid and through the Flamenco dance.
Internal struggle of marginal artists in an underground environment, the old Tabacalera of Madrid and typical market of the city, reflects the restless and rebellious characters by nature, who allow themselves to question the status quo.
Outsider artists, outsider art and flamenco dance wraps us in an absolute cinematographic poetics.
Perfection versus imperfect. The mix between reality and fiction becomes an artistic abstraction that confuses us and takes us to a level of desires and subconscious of ourselves.
Sometimes the image and the confusing situations lead us to the unfulfilled dreams of each and every one.
