In “A Painful Choice” two primordial elements are produced in friction: love and death. The link is none other than madness. A plastic mediator that mutates in the form of a relationship that opens with an ecstatic moment: a kiss as an implicit pact of toxicity. The director Andrés Borghi puts into play creatures, blood transfusions and a kind of clinic of the 30s where the fall of love. The mental coma and the grimace of pain are transmitted through the voice of Jon Others in the form of a tear. The author takes this song to the viewer the corridors of a relationship that is a limit. The experience of death while the erotic tends to its absolute realization, that is, the end.
