The Inquisitor


Andrés Erazo is a young writer who, thanks to the recognition obtained with some of his stories, gets a job at "El Inquisidor": a national tabloid refusing to surrender to the digital revolution. Despite being terrified by death, Andrés accepts the job for the money, which forces him in a workplace where death and blood are the daily business. Andrés doesn't know yet that he will end up being the protagonist of the creepiest, and most profitable, story that the tabloid has uncovered so far. In his first day at the job, Andrés has to report the finding of the corpse of a beautiful woman in her wedding dress; there is no gore, she looks just as if she was sleeping – the only odd detail being a line on her forehead, made with a sharp object.

DreamStation


France, the future: most people need two or three jobs just to survive. Thanks to iWake, an implant that regulates melatonin synthesis in the brain, science has dramatically reduced the amount of sleep required per night. The DreamStation company comes up with the idea of a Dream-On-Demand system, that allows you to impersonate a hero of your choice in your dreams. Sismo, a young man who has been unwillingly exposed to this technology, is contacted by DreamStation: twelve dreamers have fallen into a loophole and have never returned. Before the scandal breaks out, the company entrusts Sismo with the mission of bringing the dreamers back. But the world he will discover behind the rift is far from what he imagined...

My Jungle


My Jungle is like a surreal Hellzapoppin of our daily life, telling the obsessions and ordinary madness through Giovanni Scifoni's point of view. Ten episodes of about 4 minutes, starting in the quarantine period, chronicle the forced cohabitation in an outcry to the dining room webcam. How do habits and idiosyncrasies change, when the family is forced inside the house? And what will be the long-term consequences? Each episode focuses on important and current issues, related to a particular recurrence or a pressing matter of everyday life: the daily routine of the Scifoni family seems more and more like a jungle!
