Conozca la Cabeza de Juan Pérez

A comedy in which the severed head of Juan Perez the Great (the low-life magician of a small urban circus) recalls what led him to his own decapitation in the claws of a terrible guillotine, like this: After a dreadful economic crisis, the Aztlan Circus (where our magician has lived so many years) begins to layoff artists. To keep his place, Perez promises a sensational beheading act that will certainly bring the glory back to the big top. With the clock ticking and no money to build an artifact like this for his magic act, Perez is forced to break into a museum to steal an original sixteenth-century guillotine that carries a deadly curse.

Screening as part of Outsider Pictures’ Latin American Showcase.
