El rostro de la medusa
The face of the jellyfish

Logline
Marina’s face suddenly changed. One day around her thirties her face ceased to be what it was. Who is she now? Through Marina’s story, the film delves into a playful research around the meaning of the face, emblem of our identity and nerve center of how we connect with others, human or non-human. Can we be somebody beyond our face, beyond our image?
