In this contemporary dark fable, a boy journeys through a nightmarish city to find a cure for his mom, as a dancing curse descends on him and his home.

Director’s Vision for ‘Heaven is Nobody’s’

For “Heaven is Nobody’s”, I take inspiration from the strange real events that happened in Strasbourg in 1518, when a mass hysteria episode, manifesting as a dancing plague, took over the city for more than a month, putting up to 400 citizens in a state of trance.
Learning about this event, its force inevitably caught me.

The story inhabits a world that only exists in our nightmares, with no way in or out. The hypersensorial soundscape and somber atmosphere are essential to the film. As the main aural element, a relentless deep techno beat acts as voice and ominous presence of the dancing curse that draws Narciso in, bringing us from the medieval into a desolate, alternate near future.
