El Diablito
the harsh city and stringent rehabilitation requirements drive an addict into a relapse which produces feverish hallucinations that reflect on his predicament and may even signify something unspeakable.
inspired by first-hand experiences of the opioid epidemic, this film tracks how society fails those who don’t fit its rigid mould and dramatises how some escapes may hold far more curious hallucinatory temptations than waking life - but at what cost.
