Laura Casabé, director, screenwriter and camera operator, trained in Buenos Aires and New York, student of Kusturica, admirer of Lynch and Carrie (1976), here adapts two short stories by Mariana Enriquez, one of Argentina's queens of horror fiction rooted in high-voltage social, political and personal contexts. In this work, Laura combines two dark short stories: The Cart and The Virgin of the Quarry Lake. A group of girls. Little more than teenagers. Creeping desire. A lake, on abandoned land, to swim in. Dogs that have no owners but no who to serve. Heat. Sex. Witchcraft. Blood in a cauldron to forge unbreakable bonds of love. A shopping cart abandoned in the middle of a collapsing housing development. In a cave, a figure… But is it really an image of the Virgin? Does it represent the Virgin of the Quarry Lake?
