Cuerpos de Sal (Salt Bodies) is a short film that reflects on the suffering of two young friends, affected by their identity and sexuality, and disturbed by the violence in Mexico. Two individuals who, in one simple trip to the beach, turn recreational drug use into a horror story, conditioned on resentment and abuse. A short film that represents a bitter cry between desire and pain. Website
