New short has bags of atmosphere

Argentine director Luciano Podcaminsky has just released this short film which has, until recently, been on the festival circuit.

The dark tale is about a man overwhelmed by life, who hears constant voices in his head and feels like he's carrying a huge weight on his back. He soon realises that something very strange is happening as that weight manifests as a backpack which mysteriously attaches itself to his body and starts to grow.

Over the course of the noirish, 12-minute film, where fiction and reality merge to create a dreamy atmosphere, the man's mind becomes a labyrinth from which he can't escape.
