Monstro

A journey between two antagonistic worlds, where curiosity leads the protagonist to enter a world totally different from the one he knows and where he will have to face his "monsters" to survive

Bonio arrives at an isolated house in the wilderness and moves in. In the solitary stillness of his abode, Bonio finds himself trapped in self-imposed isolation. However, in the shadows of the night, a mysterious monster begins to visit him, unleashing a whirlwind of emotions and fears that he thought he had buried deep within himself. Each visit from the monster is an uncomfortable reminder, an unforgiving mirror that forces him to confront his loneliness, his insecurities and the barriers he has built around himself. In his struggle to understand the true nature of the monster, Bonio embarks on a journey towards acceptance and coexistence with the unknown.

Director's note:
This film is my personal wrap-up of the above. Monstro is an encounter between two very different worlds: the Ontos, the sheep, the porcelain dog or the bush, which represent fear, the ancestral, observation and the "unknown". On the other hand, Bonio and the big city represent progress, fear and social complexity.

Producer's note:
With Monstro, we are once again committed to the fantasy genre, a genre that Andrés Goteira has mastered and with which he has already reaped numerous successes with his debut film: Dhogs. With this film, more than a terrifying experience, we seek to generate an emotional response in the viewer, creating situations in which the audience becomes viscerally involved with the story and the characters, which makes the experience more immersive.
