Inspired by the
poems of Rumi, the great Iranian mystic poet, the
master of Argentine cinema and the maker of “Dark Side of the Heart”, and “The Adventures
of God” comes back with this amazing new film about mysticism, sexuality and
spirituality.
Twenty-something Eloy (Leandro Stivelman) has a
gift for walking on stilts that he inherited from his father, but while Dad
tried to use this talent for creative purposes, Eloy
has made a career out of his skill, wandering the city dressed as a high-rise
sandwich to promote a diner. One day, a stumble causes
Eloy to crash through a ceiling window into the
bedroom of Elvira, an attractive older woman. Both Elvira and her mother are
convinced that a greater destiny has brought Eloy
into her life, and she takes the young man under her wing. Eloy
loves women and is delighted when Elvira expresses a powerful sexual interest
in him, but she's a student of tantric sex techniques, and as she opens his
eyes to the possibilities of lovemaking, he's introduced to new worlds of
eroticism that allow him to leave his body and travel through time and space.
