FILM SYNOPSIS

Director Nacho Vigalondo and producer Nahikari IpiƱa in person!

Lauded short film director Vigalondo makes his feature debut with this tense, unstoppable vision of science and natural law gone awry. An incredibly well crafted time-travel story, TIMECRIMES doesn't spend money on extravagant effects, although the visual style of the film is great. Instead, the layered science-fiction plot is created through fabulous writing and solid acting from a very small cast of characters.

Though not much can be said about this time-travel thriller's plot without giving too much away, here's a cryptic synopsis from Vigalondo himself:

"A man who accidentally travels back into the past and meets himself. A naked girl in the middle of the forest. A mysterious stranger with his face wrapped in a pink bandage. A disquieting mansion on the top of a hill. All of them pieces of an unpredictable jigsaw puzzle where terror, drama and suspense will lead to an unthinkable crime. Who's the murderer? Who's the victim?"

TIMECRIMES takes a bold, difficult premise and brings the rarely-tread time travel framework to pulse-pounding but intelligent new heights. Look for great things to come from Vigalondo!

The filmmaker has mentioned several contrasting (and exciting) influences including everyone from Roman Polanski to Stanislaw Lem (the novelist behind SOLARIS).
