Gala del Sol
In a tropical-punk twist on Dante’s Inferno, a group of misfits converges at Babel, a mythical club that doubles as purgatory, where La Flaca — the city’s Grim Reaper — presides. Here, souls gamble years of their lives, daring to outwit Death Herself.
Gala del Sol is a Spanish-Colombian director, screenwriter, and producer born in 1996, whose stories revolve around fantastic realism and have a punk aesthetic with a tropical twist.
