LA SALA DE LOS SUICIDAS

(Jan Komasa, Polonia 2011, 112 min., v.o.s.e.)

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.

Dominik es un chico cualquiera. Tiene muchos amigos, una novia guapa, sus padres son ricos y le dan dinero para ropa, videojuegos y diversión. Un día, un solo beso lo cambiará todo. Ella lo aborda en la red. Es intrigante, peligrosa y astuta. Lo introduce en la “sala de suicidas”, un lugar de donde no se puede escapar. Dominik, atrapado por los sentimientos e involucrado en una intriga mortal está a punto de perder lo que más importa en la vida…
