The feature debut of Colombian New Wave director Carlos Mayolo, a gothic fantasy film, nominated for Best Actress and Best Film at the Portuguese Fantasy Film Festival. It is a tribute to Roman Polanski's "Rosemary's Baby." "Flesh of your flesh" is a political allegory through a love story, framed in the magical Colombian universe. In 1955, amidst a military dictatorship, a teenage girl seduces her brother, and due to their incestuous relationship, the lovers are possessed by the ghosts of their ancestors. The two youngsters become vampirical and criminal creatures like those formed by the Colombian "violencia," mingling with mythological beings of the countryside like "drafts" and other ghosts sowing fear into the hearts of men. Directed by Carlos Mayolo. Centers on a wealthy family fighting over the last testament of a just-deceased matriarch. From there, the family members are shown to have an incestuous relationship, and eventually, vampires come into the picture, as well as unbridled slaughter. Tropical Gothic Baroque. An extremely interesting film about La Violencia in Colombia, capturing the strange social and political heterogeneity of this dark set of events. Mayolo developed his own aesthetic - partly in collaboration with filmmaker Luis Ospina and the late Andrés Caicedo - 'el gótico tropical' to convey this strangeness. The film combines local Colombian myths - caspi, la madremonte, el hojarasquin del monte - with themes of vampirism and incest to convey the place of La Violencia within a repetitive and cyclical history characterized by interpartisan conflicts that benefit the empowerment of the Colombian aristocracy.
