RUSSIAN SPEAKING GHOSTS
Two Russian-speaking ghosts leave the Sonar Music Festival, along the pilgrim path to Santiago de Compostela then on to Finisterre: the end of the world, to seek rebirth.
Inspired by Garrel’s 1972 film The Inner Scar, this surreal and humorous tale is Caballero’s first feature, with a stunning soundtrack including Nico and Suicide.
MADE BY THE CO-DIRECTOR OF SONAR FESTIVAL
The film was made by Sergio Caballero, co-director of the famous SONAR Festival in Barcelona for 'Advanced Music and Multimedia Art', where he is responsible for the visual side.
REVIEWS
"Adventurous art-house distributors should take a chance on this confrontationally offbeat but undeniably distinctive enterprise, which has all the makings of a genuine cult favorite." - THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER
"Cult status is likely." - VARIETY
"The outsider in this competition. Searching for the boundaries in this festival, for the edgy, the off-beat. Best animal performances in a film. The ghost of this competition." - ROTTERDAM FILM FESTIVAL 2011, where it won the Tiger Award for best film
SIMPLY AWESOME
How to put it? This is simply an awesome film. You've never seen anything like it. Come!

Their journey powerfully mirrors that undertaken by their ancestors escape from slavery 300 years earlier.
