In an indeterminate future, humanity has been affected by a strange contamination coming from animals, and Diana, as usual, goes out hunting in her van.
Picked by Felix
The scouts
A hunting procedural where the prey is contaminated humanity itself and the hunter is just doing her job—it's the kind of premise that sounds absurd until you realize it's dead serious, and that tonal whiplash is exactly what makes it subversive enough to matter.
Ortí constructs a formally disciplined vision of ecological horror that sits comfortably within sci-fi's speculative lineage while resisting easy genre satisfaction; the restraint in both image and sound design marks a filmmaker aware of what precedes him.
The decision to keep Diana's face and motives deliberately opaque—to let the van and the hunt speak louder than character revelation—transforms what could be a straightforward premise into something genuinely uncanny on a shoestring.
