FRIIS FRAME presents the European premiere of La Muerte está en los Catres (Death is in the Cots) by Ronnie Fuentes Salinas.
Karen, a former professional soccer player born in Puente Alto in the southern area of Santiago. Rosa, her grandmother, is the one who assumes the role of mother and becomes a fundamental piece in Karen's life and career. In 2008 Karen begins a love relationship with her neighbor Mariel, a year later they get married in the company of family and close friends. Coto, Mariel's father, never questioned the relationship and accepted that Mariel and Karen move in with him. They will share joys, fears, life and also death. A record that moves between madness and lucidity, an invitation to feel the heroic act of simply being and being. To resist.
