synopsis

From award-winning Argentinian writer/director Leonardo Favio (ANICETO) comes this "beautiful, hypnotic and ahead of its time" (Terror Weekend) adaptation of the infamous Paraguayan Guarani folk horror legend: Despite warnings from a local witch that he will carry the werewolf curse, the seventh son of a family of sons is born and given the holy name Nazareno Cruz as protection. But when Nazareno grows to become a well-liked young man without a single transformation, the devil appears in the guise of a beguiling stranger to offer him wealth, power and a permanent escape from lycanthropy in exchange for renouncing his love for the beautiful Griselda. Nazareno refuses, and the next full moon unleashes the full horror of his affliction.
