"Woman: Shared Sensibilities, A Collective Voice for Equality"
THE DEVIL SMOKES
EL DIABLO FUMA
The fears of five stoic young siblings abandoned by their parents mix with those of their schizophrenic grandmother, who now looks after them, blurring and gradually dissolving the boundary between reality and imagination.
ಪೋಷಕರಿಂದ ತ್ಯಜಿಸಲ್ಪಟ್ಟ, ಯಾವುದಕ್ಕೂ ಎದೆಗುಂದದ ಐವರು ಸಹೋದರರ ಭಯಗಳು, ಈಗ ಅವರನ್ನು ನೋಡಿಕೊಳ್ಳುತ್ತಿರುವ ಸ್ಕಿಜೋಫ್ರೇನಿಯಾದಿಂದ ಬಳಲುತ್ತಿರುವ ಅವರ ಅಜ್ಜಿಯ ಭ್ರಮೆಗಳೊಂದಿಗೆ ಒಂದರೊಳೊಂದು ಬೆರೆತು, ವಾಸ್ತವ ಮತ್ತು ಕಲ್ಪನೆಯ ನಡುವಿನ ಗಡಿ ನಿಧಾನವಾಗಿ ಅಸ್ಪಷ್ಟವಾಗತೊಡಗುತ್ತದೆ.
