Scorpion

In a sweltering prison cell, Luis endures the endless darkness with little more than a straw mat, biting insects, and the measured footsteps of Rodriquez, a fellow inmate pacing like a trapped animal. Across a narrow crack in the wall, Old Juan calls softly, and the two men maintain a fragile friendship through whispered conversations, shared cigarettes, and an ingenious cockroach courier.

But beneath the grim humor of prison life lies a growing sense of dread. Juan knows something about what may be coming, yet hesitates to tell Luis, fearing that knowledge could make the waiting unbearable. As muted guitar music drifts through the cells and the guards patrol the corridor, every sound takes on a sinister meaning. This tense, atmospheric story follows two prisoners trying to preserve their humanity while confronting an unseen threat closing in around them.
