ALACRÁN O LA CEREMONIA (Scorpion or The Ceremony)

Written by José Antonio Lucia | Directed by Román Podolsky
A story of a love triangle in the heart of sordid Spanish taverns. Scorpion or The Ceremony emerges from gypsy splendor amid obscenities, zambra and thorns. Alacrán comes to remember 'La Cangrejo,' the love of his life who is no longer here, settling into the black, funny, and absurd tragicomedy of his life.
