“Neither the cold nor the storms can calm you down when you are faced with a new boss that you would not like.”
– Lucía Seles’ synopsis

The third film in the series showcases Seles’ most chaotic experimentation with time, see-sawing all over the place, simultaneously catching the same characters in various scenes through a relentless montage of poetic asides. La Tenista has taken over the complex, Lujan gets a haircut by Sergio, Manuel’s brother comes to visit (and wrestles him to the ground), and much more. The third film in the series shows Seles at her most rambling and discursive, working completely non-linearly in a disorienting montage of scenes truncated and intercut with each other so that the same characters often appear simultaneously in multiple instances of time. The result is something uniquely Seles’ own: a cubist-esque piece of freeform cinematic comedic poetry.
