THIRST
(2015) – feature film – fiction
SYNOPSIS
Sarah is 23 years old and has been blind since she was 10. A trip to the old family hacienda with her cousin and their respective boyfriends starts off well, but once there, not everything is as it seems. The atmosphere of abandonment in this place stuck in time becomes the uncomfortable setting that triggers a play of the senses, confronting the travelers with their most repressed desires. Sarah must look at herself through the innocence of her childhood to understand her past and find a way to win this game of seeing.
