Fleeing homophobic attacks, Nino moves to a rural house amidst a forest haunted by Almamula, a monster that takes those who commit carnal sins. In a world of whispers, unspoken desires, and prayers, Nino’s curiosity and impulses rise to the surface.

Almamula is a mood piece that proceeds at a leisurely pace and in which much more is implied than is shown.

Rated: 7/10

Flickering Myth

While the central message of Carnal Sins is delivered bluntly, it is effectively harrowing thanks to a quiet, expressionless, empty-inside performance from Nicolás Díaz

Rated: 3/5

Eye for Film

A semi-autobiographical film with a potent sense of place, Almamula alternates between realism and fantasy, its camerawork reflecting the conflicting ways of thinking at its core.

Rated: 4/5

The Stranger (Seattle, WA)

The film is set in Santiago del Estero, offering dreamy natural lighting and luscious greenery. The cinematography alone is worth the view.
