Two Monks
Directed by Juan Bustillo Oro
Produced by Proa Films
A formally experimental Gothic mystery that uses competing narratives and monastic setting to explore obsession, desire, and the unreliability of truth.
In a Gothic-styled monastery, a monk named Javier sees the face of another monk, Juan, and suddenly attempts to bludgeon him to death with a heavy crucifix. Both men then relate their own versions of a story of romantic rivalry between them.
