Film Overview

While surveying the landscape of his country estate, Hector spies through his binoculars– could it be?– a nude woman in the woods adjacent to his property. In his attempt to investigate this woman's mysterious presence, he is drawn unknowingly into a bizarre science experiment. On his way to find the woman, he is attacked by an inexplicable zombie-like figure whose head is wrapped in pink gauze. As he flees, he takes cover in a laboratory close to the woods, where the attendant/scientist invites him in. In the laboratory, Hector is ushered into a scientific device. He emerges thinking it is only minutes later, when in fact, it is hours earlier. The hours unfold as Hector encounters different versions of himself and an increasingly complicit and intricate story, all of which he is trying to rectify before time runs into the present. Science fiction meets classic crime drama in TIMECRIMES, a tense, unstoppable vision of science and natural law gone awry. (In Spanish with English Subtitles) -CCP
