Trailer for Animals (2012)
Synopsis: Pol is a teenager with a seemingly calm life: he lives with his brother and is still in high school. However, Pol has a secret: Deerhoof, a cuddly teddy bear who thinks, moves around and with whom he shares his best moments. Life goes on as normal until the arrival of Ikari, an enigmatic student who seems to be hiding something. Pol is fascinated by his new classmate and attracted to the dark side he harbors. An inexplicable death and a series of strange events will transform the meek student’s routine into a fantastic adventure which will take over their lives. [x]
Small glimpse of Martin’s guest role in the trailer for Marçal Forés’s debut film (@1:14)
Animals to screen at the San Sebastian Festival
It is entered to compete in the New Directors category:
Director Marçal Forés’s debut full-length film is a teenage love story, about sacrifice and the tragedy of two conflicting worlds, where the power of fantasy blurs its limits with reality… and in which death provides an end that is both tempting and inevitable. [x]
The festival runs from September 21-29 in Spain’s northern Basque region. There are not many details about Martin’s role yet except that he plays an Art History high school teacher named Albert. You can watch Martin talking about his role back in 2010 here (at 2:45) and here (at 0:30 but dubbed in Spanish).
