Synopsis
A dark work about self-knowledge and the nature of evil, where the devil lives in a godless world.
Lee, accompanied by his photographer girlfriend Dru, arrives in El Paso to interview Mateo, a convicted murderer recently released, over a period of a few days.
During the intense interview process, Lee so empathizes with his subject's life in the past that he merges his own past with it in order to reenact it.
The bloody conclusion draws upon the dangers of defining the nature of evil.
