Published

on

This year’s SXSW has an impressive midnight lineup of international features planned, including films from New Zealand and Canada. Spain is represented by Hèctor Hernández Vicens and his debut feature The Corpse of Anna Fritz. We now have a trailer for what’s sure to be a subversive film.

Anna Fritz is a very famous and beautiful actress, considered one of the most desired women in the world. Suddenly, she dies. Pau works as an orderly at the hospital where Anna Fritz was taken to. Pau is a shy and introverted youth. Often, when the body of a young woman is brought to the morgue, he can’t resist watching her. When he enters the morgue with the corpse of Anna Fritz, he takes a picture of her naked body and sends it to his friend Ivan. Ivan and Javi are Pau’s only friends, and go visit him at the hospital. They are a little drunk and Ivan wants to see the naked body of Anna Fritz. She is there… They can’t lose this opportunity.

The Corpse of Anna Fritz World Premieres Sunday, March 15th as part of the Midnighters Lineup at SXSW 2015.
