French premiere - Presentation reserved to audience above 12

Young and pretty Amanda has put on her most beautiful evening gown to go to a gala. On her way to the festivity, she discovers she’s locked in the vehicle and that her phone is deactivated. The nightmare begins…

The more faithful among you surely remember Buried by Rodrigo Cortés, discovered here a few years ago and crowned by the 2010 New Genre Great Prize. As daring as it’s unexpected, El Ataùd de Cristal, is also a claustrophobic first film which will upset more than one viewer. A revelation : Paola Bontempi will not remain unknown for long, just like Haritz Zubillaga who proves here he’s a very talented director.
