Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Director Antonio Ibarra made this as a proof-of-concept for a feature; the three-minute runtime was originally a festival submission constraint.
The title references the ouroboros — ancient symbol of eternal cyclical renewal — twisted here into a trap rather than transcendence. Ramón's 'oriental' mishmash spirituality is the point: he doesn't understand what he's invoking.
