Synopsis

In Greek mythology, there were colossal creatures with fifty heads and a hundred arms. In the manner of an illustration in a bestiary, this short film describes the titan in a contemporary city. The concrete masses on the outskirts of Mexico City are the current version of the giant, recorded through 16mm film.
