In the outskirts of Buenos Aires in 1907, a doctor becomes involved
in a misguided experiment that investigates the threshold between
life and death. One hundred years later, a celebrated artist goes
to extremes in search of aesthetic transformation, turning himself
into an art object. How far are we willing to go, Larraquy asks, in
pursuit of transcendence? The world of Comemadre is full of
vulgarity, excess, and discomfort: strange ants that form almost
perfect circles, missing body parts, obsessive love affairs, and
man-eating plants. Darkly funny, smart, and engrossing, here the
monstrous is not alien, but the consquence of our relentless
pursuit of collective and personal progress.
