SPA25 Electrophilia

From acclaimed Argentinian writer-director Lucía Puenzo (XXY, Dive, The German Doctor, La Jauría) this eerie dramatic thriller asks what it means to be human. During a storm in the countryside, veterinarian Ada (Mariana Di Girolamo, Ema, La Jauría) is struck by lightning. Upon waking from a coma after the incident, she finds herself forever changed after experiencing a major physical and psychological reconfiguration. In addition to the visible mark of the strike that traces its path across her body, she is disturbed by a series of strange symptoms she is unable to control. Ada finds support in a group of lightning strike survivors who are adjusting to life after being struck. They find themselves becoming increasingly captivated by the power of electricity, and the magnetic doctor they blindly trust. On Ada's quest towards rebuilding her sense of self, she finds that the path toward electrophilia will be a journey with no return.
