Genesis

Genesis (1998)
Dir: Nacho Cerdà

A man builds a life-like statue of his dead wife.
Short film from Nacho Cerdà that focuses on the theme of loss. A sculptor creates a statue of his dead wife which starts to come to life as he begins to turn to stone. Not as gory as Cerdà's previous effort, this has some creepy moments and another wonderful performance from Pep Tosar. A hauntingly beautiful tale that is more emotional and story driven.
