AKA La invención de Cronos."I don't care about eternity."
An elderly antiques dealer Jesus Gris (Federico Luppi), stumbles upon a mechanised scarab, hidden inside a statue. On examination it takes a bite out of his hand. Then he finds himself revitalised, younger looking and feeling, but with a craving for blood and to use the scarab again. Then his real problem rears its head, in the form of Angel de la Guardia (Ron Perlman) who has long been looking for the fabled mechanism, built by an alchemist in 1535 to convey eternal life on its user.
A unique take on a simple question; what would you do if you had the chance at eternal life literally in you hand? A quiet story plays out in a sympathetic way, unveiling the decisions and consequences that these bring.
