The Wasteland
Directed by David Casademunt
Produced by Rodar y Rodar, Fitzcarraldo Films
A claustrophobic, paranoia-soaked thriller about isolation and maternal bonds tested by an inexplicable threat in a desolate landscape.
Lucía and her son live isolated from society in a flat place where there’s practically no life. The small family unit formed by mother and son hardly ever receives visitors, and their goal is to lead a quiet existence. At first they succeed, but the appearance of a mysterious, violent creature that starts stalking their small house will put the relationship that unites them to the test.
