EL DESIERTO

Axel, Jonathan and Ana live together in a house that seems like a bunker in a post-catastrophic world, outside a threatening landscape. Once they were a perfect love triangle, with strong bonds of friendship, but today nothing is left of it. Ana is with Jonathan and Axel is alone. Their old relationship cannot be recovered, the wounds run too deep. To escape from this hell, Ana has invented "the therapy room," a small room where they record their confessions on a video camera. But everything changes when Axel and Jonathan go out on an expedition in search of provisions and return to the house with a zombie that they call Pythagoras.
