Young filmmaker Daniel Santoyo directs this innovative short about a new pandemic that is sweeping the world which causes some of the dead to return to life. As a journalist is filmed showing a new facility to house bodies in an attempt to contain the disease, the camera inadvertently reveals the awakening of a woman’s corpse. When the cameraman departs momentarily, the recording unintentionally continues. This ‘film within a film’ sets up an exploration of relations between the generations, as the limits of sacrifice and the responsibility for death are explored.
