"STATE OF IMPURITY" Indie Film. Support for image and sound post production, translation and subtitling.

I ask your help to finish this totally independent project that I have been able to direct and produce with my savings and a lot of effort.

A film shot with € 2,000 during the month of February 2018, in my country of birth, Argentina. Filmed in a single location, the house of my mother who generously gave me to film in twelve days. A film that deals with a very tricky subject, Monogamy in contrast to polygamy.

On the other hand, I have not received any subsidy or external financial support of any kind. So the film is really a miracle that is standing. And if this miracle is achieved, it will also be thanks to you.

Memory of the project

Everyone likes to be happy. The couple is one of the ways to be, but what would happen if the couple as we know it, could make us even happier? Wouldn’t it be logical to find out if the relationships we maintain could make us happier and fuller?

STATE OF IMPURITY enters into this question. If on one hand it is true that the couple gives happiness on the other brings many headaches. One must wonder if it is not a contradiction, why it happens and if there is a way to avoid the pain that comes with wanting. STATE OF IMPURITY is a film that speaks with simplicity and honesty of current relationships, their problems, their blind spots, pointing to a reflection with its unexpected ending.

STATE OF IMPURITY is a feature film indie that addresses one of the most feared and exciting facets of what a couple means today. It is also one of those films that can have a great impact on society, because it speaks of two big social taboos, the orgy and the consensual polygamy.

We believe it is a hot topic and current in society, and that it could be of great interest to the audience. Teach that many people keep the desire in the closet, repressing it or giving it free rein, but ultimately hiding it facing the gallery, with hypocrisy.

STATE OF IMPURITY is a film that will initiate a deep debate between monogamy and polygamy and the new formats that are beginning to emerge in our society. Films like ours begin to open a path on the need to revise the emotional models of relationship and equality between women and men, in their capacity maintain double or more relationships and not only refer to the sexual, but to the relational aspect, into the coexistence of emotions and affection to "more than one loved one". I think a film like ours is necessary to discover how far we are undercover polygamists, unbleached, and what happens when we free ourselves from the weight of a slave, patriarchal, capitalist, monogamous and Judeo-Greek-Christian sexuality.

Our film is an invitation to reflect on this issues as other films have already done:

"Design for Living" -1933-
(Dir.Ernst Lubitsch)

"Jules et Jim" -1968-
(Dir. François Truffaut)

"Frente al mar" -1978-
(Dir. Gonzalo García Pelayo)

"Eyes Wide Shut" -1999-
(Dir.Stanley Kubrick)

"Marie Jo and her two lovers" -2003-
(Dir.Robert Guédiguian)

"Shortbus" -2006-
(Dir. John Cameron Mitchell)

"The daughters of fire" -2018-
(Dir. Albertina Carri)

The film has been shot in a single location in a country house on the outskirts of Buenos Aires, in the town of Ingeniero Maschwitz. Recorded in HD 1920 x 1080, in February 2018. Duration: 142 min. Shot in the months of January and February of 2018. Independent cinema, made of heart tripe.

"There's nothing immoral about the human body. Evil's all in the mind."

Leroy Griffith

“Love of one is a piece of barbarism: for it is practised at the expense of all others. Love of God likewise.”

​Friedrich Nietzsche

Two married couples have been invited over by Daniel, a middle aged writer and beekeeper, to spend a weekend at his farm. Things run amiably and smoothly over lunch. Married couples are composed of a mediocre lawyer Esteban and his frustrated wife Natalia, and a perfectionist engineer Francis and his beautiful young and inquisitive wife, Paola. Another couple, friends of Daniel's, joins them later for lunch: a brilliant and famous international actress, Alexandra, with his handsome and mysterious companion Jacobo.

Synopsis

To their surprise and dismay, the two couples realize that Jacobo, Alexandra and Daniel form a loving threesome or throuple. Once they get used to the idea, however, Alexandra provocatively reveals Daniel's plans for them: his invitation was aimed at enjoying a special gift from the three of them: an orgy centered in his beloved new girlfriend and actress. The peaceful lunch then becomes a devastating earthquake for both married couples.

My scriptwriter Juan Carlos Sampedro and I we wrote a script under the inspiring ideas of Charles Fourier in his text "The Eulogy of the polygamy". From there I came up with the idea of ​​filming a short film in 2012 where I thought what would happen if a throuple made up of a girl and her two boyfriends presented themselves at a wedding table. What would the other couples think? Why the love model is always dual?

The technical and artistic group has been made up of ** 7 Argentine actors who worked Ad Honorem in this film, as did my assistant Actor´s coach Hernán López and my Head of Production Yasmila Eyheralde, two gold companions plus my assistant director and sound engineer Laureano Guevara, who saved the film from many problems; they gave everything for this movie.

Together with them and the help of my sisters ** Sofía Prins *, who lend us her home to do the casting of actors and * Diana Prins *, who attended the shooting as a photographer of the making off and cook of delicious pizzas for the catering, plus the generosity of my mother, * Mónica López ** lending us her house, we have achieved the miracle of producing this film:
