La fuga dei corpi

by ,
La fuga dei corpi

To escape an ordinary and suffocating life, Vanni and Daniel embark on a journey to Cala Bruja, a beach in the Andalusian desert. Rumour says that a community lives there in complete self-sufficiency, fully committed to explore all kinds of pleasure.The two friends pass through cities like ghosts, playing music in the streets with their faces covered with masks and a protective circle on the ground drawn with chalk. Theirs is a mutual initiation process, a test to prove that they can achieve anything they want. But soon their sharing of space and time becomes complete, absolute and morbid, and their individual desires start to collide. While their friendship founders, Vanni and Daniel lose themselves to ferocious and extreme deeds, as if violence were the only answer to their need for rebellion and the pattern to pour out frustration and disenchantment. Through fallen myths, mystical travels and mind-altering experiences, Bodies on the Run is a story told by two distinctive voices, each with their own personality, unforgivable flaws and imperfect humanities.
