A mixture of folk horror and satire, the plot presents an alien vampire who, traveling through the galaxy, lands in his grave in Santiago, Chile. Its subtitle of "Escenita Criolla" reflects the character of its modest production and nods to socio-cultural elements of the country. After the coup d'état, the 16 mm copy was buried in the courtyard of the house of one of the actors, and was later finished by Castellano in 1990 in the United States.

Impressionistic surrealism in three acts. The approach is literary experimental with optical effects. There are three mental states that are interesting: amnesia, euphoria and ecstasy. Amnesia is not knowing who you are and wanting desperately to know. I call this the White Night. Euphoria is not knowing who you are and not caring. This is the Dream of Meditation. Ecstasy is knowing exactly who you are and still not caring. I call this the Memory of the Future. This is an autobiographical film funded by the American Film Institute.
