Tierra

Aka "Earth". Angel (Carmelo Gomez) attempts to find grounding in his work (as a fumigator) but finds his wandering soul torn in two directions. Initially attracted to the lovely, lonely, ethereal Angela (Emma Suarez), he finds himself drawn against his better nature - in the form of a guardian angel, a phantom double that watches over him like an aggressive but well-meaning conscience - to the earthy, passionate, impulsive Mari (Silke). Director Medem sets his tale of love and lust amidst the stunning, austere landscape of fiery red hills, a world both primal and alien (dressed in white protective suits, the fumigators look like astronauts on Mars).
