This transformation culminates in a frenzied final dance that serves as a rite of exorcism, purging evil and awakening buried primal instincts within each individual. The film challenges traditional notions of time by dissecting real-time experiences into fleeting mental moments, creating a dynamic narrative from the flow of Aurélia's consciousness.In this cinematic exploration of surrealism, viewers are invited to embark on a dreamlike voyage that intertwines reality and myth, offering an immersive experience that questions the very nature of time and identity.
