Brandon Johnson, Jorge Pupo, Giacomo Bounafina. 2001, Color. Spanish
with english subtitles.
Visiting American journalist Brandon Johnson
finds more than he's bargained for. His reporter contact is missing
and nobody's looking for him; his first assignment is to meet with
priest Jorge Pupo, so fevered with the advent of Satan that he
clobbers an altar boy he fears is possessed; but there's also love,
in the form of nurse Arloa Reston but who is she meeting in the
jungle? Cosmic discussions of good and evil, with Pupo and a
nihilistic colleague, turn into a battle for survival with the
still-lurking forces of repression.
El periodista de Estados Unidos, de visita en
Guatemala, encuentra m�s de lo que esperaba. El reportero con quien
iba a hacer contacto ha desaparecido y nadie lo est� buscando; su
primera asignaci�n es reunirse con el padre Jorge Pupo, tan
obsesionado con el advenimiento de Sat�n que golpea malamente a un
monaguillo por temer que est� pose�do. Tambi�n hay amor, en la forma
de la enfermera Arloa Reston, pero �con qui�n se est� reuniendo en
la selva? Discusiones c�smicas sobre el bien y el mal, con Pupo y un
colega nihilista, que se convierten en una batalla por la
supervivencia, con las fuerzas represivas aun al acecho.
