Cruz de Marta

In the streets of San Juan, where inequality is the bread and butter of everyday life; one thing is to be solidary, and another thing is to be solidary in exchange for nothing.

Written and directed by Paola Perea in 2012 the original short film was presented in Bizarro Horror and Fantasy Short Film Festival that took place that same year in the University of Puerto Rico. After being in oblivion for almost half a decade, this revisited edition captures the essence of the original film; with a completely new editing of the raw footage that was fitted to the rhythm of Brahms Hungarian Dance No 1.
