The double interview is controlled and manipulated by a computer-generated severed hand which Maria describes as an object once discovered in the trash while working in the violent northern town of Mexicali.

Love Is Not a Sin(zh)

《Love Is Not a Sin》is a genuine Macanese film made by a local director Chan Kin Tak. The film is an exuberantly bizarre tale about two teenage girls who have so such affections to each other. However, a hidden camera finally destroys their fancy as the recorded contents unveil a possible truth that one of them is probably a male. The director has skillfully shown a dramatic shift of mood through the use of his cameras, from an atmosphere of exuberant teenage joy to a lost in one’s own sentiments. He has also blended several elements into his plot, such as the innocence of youth, some soap materials and a sense of horror. This definitely wakes up the sensations of its audience. And a mysterious male voice narration throughout the film always keeps people puzzled about the truth.
