Drama/ 5 Characters, 3 Male, 2 Female / Full-length, 90 mins.
Synopsis: A young woman, Ana, arrives at a rundown shack for an appointment to be tattooed. She meets "The Captain" and his lover, Isabel -- heroin addicts united by passion and their memories of better days. The Captain at first refuses to do the work, until Ana's manipulative boyfriend convinces him to brand her with the image of a mysterious woman named "la negra" -- the same tattoo The Captain carries on his own chest. Does The Captain agree in order to create his final masterpiece -- or to free himself of the dark legacy that haunts him? Either way, the results are both brutal and inevitable.
Advisory: contains explicit language, violence, and sexuality.
