Patricio Montesano

In Exomologesis, the filmmaker and poet César González set out to show the consequences of a society governed by obedience and the consequences of this in times of neoliberalism. Unlike his previous films, in color and with many scenes shot outdoors, this is a black and white film that takes place in a two-room apartment, which allows us to see that an office can also be a closed institution.

Popular neighborhoods that are open-air prisons. Where beauty flirts with violence. The kingdom of the insubordinate children, veterans of the lead. A garden of amputated flowers, which with crutches on their backs, still grow and dance.

A humble worker, several young thieves at dawn of violence, the dream of a better present that collides with the most cruel discrimination, a car that moves forward collecting the waste of the postmodern city.

The new film by César González follows a maintenance employee at a printing house whose routine, almost as automatic as the movements of the company machines, is altered when she makes a decision that threatens both her job and her everyday life in the neighborhood.
