Pos Eso

The world-famous flamenco dancer Trini falls into a deep depression after her husband’s tragic death. Her passion vanishes, forcing her to quit the stage. To make matters worse, her son Damian turns into an evildoer. His use of supernatural powers endangers the lives of those around him and causes an ever-increasing number of slasher murder scenes. A diabolical plot seems to have befallen Trini and Damian. Who can free this shattered family from this distress? Perhaps the greedy bishop? The unearthly fortune-teller? Or Father Lenin, a priest searching for a purpose in life again? “Pos Eso” (English: “Possessed”) is a black comedy in claymation. The delight in quoting is evident in almost every scene – waiting to be discovered are reminiscences and adaptations from “The Exorcist”, “Alien” and “Indiana Jones”, to name but a few. Blood flows, plasticine heads roll, eyes flutter. This parody is not for the faint-hearted. With his first feature, director Samuel Erik Ortiz pays a creepy yet amusing homage to classic (horror)films. At the same time, Trini is an absolute declaration of love to the Spanish duende, the soul of flamenco. It is the very same profound passion that leads the distraught mother through the vale of tears. But “Pos Eso” is not only about quotations. On the contrary, it is also a manifesto for discovering one’s own strength: initially, the search for meaning leads Trini reflexively to shady (albeit witty) characters, who hide their own greed under the guise of a willingness to help. Only much later does Trini realise that she herself holds the key to salvation in her heart. (ast)
