INTERRUPTED

Interrupted is a comedy about how a perfect life can become a hell in the most unexpected way. Anabel is a successful woman who lives raised to the frenzied wave of her time and will pay for it. The routine of the protagonist is a theatrical high precision machinery whose operation is going to abruptly interrupted by a tragic fate ... In 65 minutes we will witness how, in only 6 days, Anabel gradually loses control of his life to swimming in absolute chaos and absurdity.
This is an original and irreverent comedy, inspired by the bursting of the bubble of safety and welfare that we had covered until recently.
Do you have it all under control? So you're not going fast enough!
