Letter From Eusapia

Carta desde Eusapia

An Ecuadorian filmmaker investigates Brussels’ subterranean world. Meanwhile, phone conversations with his surgeon father reveal that a deadly pandemic is sweeping both countries.

A copy of a city built completely underground called Eusapia is the starting point of an investigation. Ecuadorian filmmaker Andrés Cornejo Pinto researches the mythological city, and the subterranean mysteries of the European city he is stuck in during lockdown. As he sends robotic cameras into the sewers of Brussels, his surgeon father sends cameras inside the human body. With tenderness and confusion, the two exchange phone calls, charting the spread of a deadly virus across both countries. Their vulnerability brings them closer together, despite the huge distance.

This film will screen as part of the short film compilation Between One World and the Next.
