La otra playa

Antonio and Marta spend an evening with friends looking at slides from a stranger couple's trip to Brazil, found in suitcases bought from the Salvation Army, and invent a past and a future for the people in them. Living other lives does not ease Antonio's own unease: he feels he no longer loves his wife and fits almost nowhere, and only photography still excites him. Wandering the city with his camera, he keeps photographing a young woman, who becomes his obsession and the start of a journey in which a beach house, a writer of horror novels and the riddle of death all play their part, as realism shades into a ghost story.
