The “Blue Whale”, a crazy challenge game whose last stage is death by suicide, has also arrived in Mexico City. In the indifference of the boundless metropolis, two teenagers, Félix and Elisa meet at the peak of the macabre journey that began in the anonymity of the web. In front of them there are still only six days to live and six days to die. And to love, perhaps. But does love exist in the days of the “Blue Whale”?
We chose it because
A very dark, dark and nihilistic tale, romantic in its own way, which never pursues consoling escape routes. The director, in his first film, but at the height of a long career in the advertising industry, does not even seek the comfort of the image, aware of its inevitable ambiguity.
