Summary:
This anthology presents some of the first Latin American efforts in the silent cinema era that took the screen and its magic as the subject of their stories. In them we can still perceive the pulsations that "black and white hallucination" increased - according to the expression of Horacio Quiroga, one of those hallucinated - in that dark room that stimulated (and continues to stimulate) fantasy.
