SYNOPSIS:

When Víctor discovers he has only a few months left to live, he decides to save Ana from the self-destructive spiral she is caught in. Víctor spies on Ana, following her, until one night he kidnaps and locks her up to rid her from her addictions and prepare her for a new life. Víctor believes he is giving the woman he loves his final gift, but in his haste he was not able to foresee what will become his greatest obstacle: the strong desire he feels for Ana together with his own madness.

"Síndrome" is a low budget movie with high aesthetic ambitions, filmed with a digital camera and performed by a group of professional actors who have dedicated a great part of their lives to see this fiction story come true.

"Síndrome" was born from the wish of Liberto Rabal, Adriana Davidova, Javier Albalá and William Miller to delve into the process of building a fiction story starting off with from the most absolute naturalistic performance.

The movie was shot in the street, capturing scenes, filming shots in impossible situations... "Síndrome" is the next step to Cinema Verité. In this case, what happens is made up but the way it happens is true.
