CGiii Comment
The opening credit sequence is as annoying as hell...too long...in truth, no-one is really interested in who did what...unless, it's a huge film.
Overly long, overly ambitious - and not matched by any overt talent.
It reeks of incompetence on both sides of the camera.
Thoroughly painful and tedious from start to finish.
No trailer...
The(ir) Blurb...
Set in two contrasting enivronments that undeline the same premise of imprisonment, Selda tells the story of Rommel (Sid Lucero), a young man who accidentally kills a boy, resulting in his incarceration. Inside the jail, he befriends another inmate, Esteban (Emilio), who becomes his rock and protector. Seven years later, Rommel is living in the province as a farmer together with Sita (Ara Mina) his wife. Esteban tracks down Rommel in hopes of renewing a brewing love affair. Rommel and Sita welcome Esteban into their lives, until their intimacy crosses borderlines and results in the undeniable scourge of self-discovery.
