Iglú (2013)

It's 2013 and DANIEL works as a storyboard artist in an advertising agency. In this place he meets CAMILA and develops an endearing friendship that gives his life a new meaning. Through his comics, Daniel will draw his past and the complex relationship he had with PAULA, therapist that helped him get out of an acute drug dependence and MARCO, his charismatic ex partner. As Paula did at the time, Camila helps Daniel to face the present with new challenges and questions about his sexuality, family and life.

Daniel, a young, handsome and talented illustrator, is deeply depressed in the aftermath of his relationship with an older man, his college professor. Salvation comes through his neighbor Paula, an agoraphobic therapist, with whom Daniel begins an intense relationship. IGLOO explores a young man’s complex relationships with sexuality, intimacy and addiction, and how his memories and present day relationships help him embrace a new life. In his directorial debut, established Chilean actor Diego Ruiz plays the lead role of Daniel (he also co-wrote the script) in an imaginative and moving story of identity and self-acceptance.
