Film. The Aura
Film. The Aura: The Aura tells in first person, the extraordinary trip of a character with no name, a taxidermist, an introverted, obscure man who has a strange obsession: again and again over recent years, he has planned and imagined the most perfectly executed robberies. They’re always successful – thanks to his intelligence which, he claims, marks him apart from the idiots-fighting-idiots struggle of cops and robbers. The taxidermist thinks he could pull it off better than anybody else.
On a trip away from his urban home, he travels to the remote forests in the south of Argentina to go hunting for the first time. A tragic accident unexpectedly gives him the chance to commit a real crime: an attack on an armored security truck carrying the profits from a nearby casino. Motivated at first by morbid curiosity, and then carried along by the momentum of events, this taxidermist will be hurled into his fantasies, and compelled to assemble, piece by piece, a complex jigsaw puzzle of events from which there’s no escape.
