Scattered
Limbs
Scattered Limbs revolves around the brothers Kenny and Robert Leonardo and
their respective loves, Virginia Muerte and Margaret La Blanca, their friends
Darryl Rubio, Ronnie Mulatto, Euridice La Negra, Louis, Jaime Espana and Manny
Elindio Todopoderoso. It deals with Christian guilt, the effects of
colonization, incest and the one universal constant we cant escape: our mortality.
All of the characters are at points in their lives where they have to make
serious choices. Robert is consumed by a secret life style and is troubled by
his younger brothers associations. The conflict comes to a head when Darryl
convinces Ronnie that the only way they are going to make names for themselves is
by taking to the way of the streets and climbing up the ranks of crime. Kenny
wants no part of it. Darryl manages to set Kenny up for a downfall. Robert and
his friends band together to get Kenny out this life threatening situation
and all the characters finally realize that it takes an urgent act to wake them
from cruising through life on auto pilot. Scattered Limbs is an urban allegory
shot on digital video and Super 16. |
