Eulalia Ramón, a renowned Spanish actress, presents her first work as a director, produced by her daughter Anna Saura. This is a very black comedy that places a serial killer at the center of a narrative with social undertones that breaks the fourth wall and invites us to ask ourselves about our own taboos.
Synopsis: Monica is a normal woman with a normal life in a normal place in any of these modern times. However, one day, because of an unimportant detail that could have been solved as any other previous disagreement, she kills her husband. Thus she discovers crime as a substitute for anxiolytics, the liberation from all moralism. [Source: Instituto de la Cinematografía y de las Artes Audiovisuales (ICAA) database].

In April, the Instituto Cervantes Vimeo channel will be filled with a selection of short films that focus on the concept of taboo from different perspectives, but always with a thoughtful and considered, rather than critical, look to place viewers in the realm of reflection.
Proceeding from the international film festival La Mirada Tabú, the eight short films in this online film series cover different styles and looks and address different hot topics in 21st-century society using different registers and genres: we will find dramas, comedies, parodies, animations… to learn to face our world from a critical conscience.
