Synopsis

In another lifetime, a Spanish couple take drugs and teleport themselves through their television set. A troubled young man travels through the countryside and meets a lost woman. During the trip, they discover a museum housing the expatriated paintings of the most important Filipino artist of the revolution. Eventually, the Spanish couple disappear. Inspired by one of the earliest teleportation accounts, which happened between the Philippines and Mexico during the colonial period. –Locarno Film Festival

Como un misterioso objeto que cae en medio de una España actual particularmente agraciada para con los experimentos fílmicos, BNE abruma con su belleza low-fi enfundada en loops visuales reflejados al infinito y comandada por una banda sonora de rasgos disonantes. El problema radica en que no parece haber decisiones claras en el asunto, y todo se reduce a Martin jugando un poco con su programa de edición.
