Espejismo (1980)

Espejismo takes us through the inner journey of Daniel, a depressed painter who has suffered the loss of his parents as a child and now deals with the loss of his grandmother too. As Daniel starts to push away the real world and getting lost in himself, his friend Andrés fights to make his friend overcome his pain.

The mix of pretension and gloom recognisable from the films of Maya Deren, early Ingmar Bergman or MEMENTO without suggesting any more substance than they had.Disturbed artist Vladich is confronted by his childhood self, friend Luis Andrés Solano Rodriguez' appealing girl friend Liz Rojas Rodríguez, a mall carousel and a bath tub which ends up on the beach with the rotted fish where his parents drowned before they were interned at the white tiled cemetery.
