Parasympathica

19855m
Short
6.1 / 10(26)

In a Spanish magazine, I found a list of characteristics considered by the Catholic church to be positive or negative. With two exceptions, the positive characteristics represented passive attitudes. In the film, I represent them mimetically. Using animated imagery, I let the juices which are stimulated by sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system flow over the body: tears, sweat, sperm, vaginal secretions. (Mara Mattuschka)
