Hungover Eugenio wakes to a desolate scene and, finding no cigarette paper, rolls a joint from the rice paper of a Bible page, whose text leaves more than one person speechless.
Picked by Felix
The scouts
A hungover Catholic boy desecrating scripture to roll a joint—it's the kind of premise that makes programmers nervous and that's exactly why it works; Moscugat swings for genuine blasphemous absurdism without winking, and somehow lands it.
The formal restraint here is admirable: a seven-minute hangover comedy that lets the sacrilege breathe through composition and timing rather than hectoring, situated squarely in a lineage of Spanish dark satire that knows when to cut.
The decision to let the Bible page's text remain legible in the rolling—to *show* the words being used—transforms what could've been a cheap gag into something genuinely unsettling; that single compositional choice makes the whole thing click.
