RELATO: Varios Relatos de Raymond Carver

Men touch each other with blows. An energetic duo about masculine construction. A deconstruction of the contemporary virile behaviour, acclaimed by some and questioned by many. CLINCH in boxing is the moment in which the two boxers hug and block each other until the referee separates them. This movement is about getting as close as possible to your rival to protect yourself from their attack. CLINCH exposes the most toxic masculinity, established in the competition, the denial and the confrontation to all that is different. Furthermore, the denial of feelings, excluding rage or fury, that must be demonstrated through the exercise of violence.
Adaptación de varios relatos del escritor norteamericano Raymond Carver (1939-1988). Retrato de la vida cotidiana de un grupo muy heterogéneo de personas que viven en Los Ángeles e intentan afrontar como pueden las dificultades de su vida laboral y personal, gentes que se cruzan indiferentes ignorando los dramas ajenos. Sin embargo, en medio de tanta cotidianeidad, late la presencia del terror. (FILMAFFINITY)
