7th Heaven

THE AURA / EL AURA
Series: LatinBeat [September 8 - 24 2006]
Director: Fabián Bielinsky, Country: Argentina, Release: 2005, Runtime: 138

In Fabián Bielinsky’s elegantly conceived second feature, Espinoza is a shy taxidermist who secretly dreams of executing the perfect robbery. On his first-ever hunting trip, in the calm of the Patagonian forest, he stumbles upon an opportunity to make his dreams come true.

Caught up in a world of complex new rules and frightening violence, Espinoza's lack of experience puts him in real danger. And he has another complicated liability: he is an epileptic. Before each seizure he is visited by the "aura'': a paradoxical moment of confusion and enlightenment where the past and future seem to blend. These attacks appear without notice when he least expects them, just when he needs all his wits about him.

An official selection of the 2006 Sundance Film Festival.
