当艳舞舞者Lucía从她的黑手党雇主那里偷了一大笔名牌毒品时,暴徒们的顽强追捕迫使她与她疏远的妹妹Rocío和侄女阿尔芭一起在马德里郊区的一座破旧公寓大楼“维纳斯”中寻求庇护。就像可怕的,腐烂的,没有好运气一样,Lucía很快发现自己是小阿尔巴的唯一监护人,在Rocío突然飞出混凝土笼子后,无法处理生活在一块巨石上的超自然压力,这显然也是一个恶性邪恶的宿主——一个入侵它的租户清醒的噩梦。从h·p·洛夫克拉夫特(H.P. Lovecraft)的《女巫屋的梦》(The Dreams in The Witch House)中得到了一些启发,《维纳斯》充斥着鲜血和重磅炸弹,就像《恶魔2》(Demons 2)和《哨兵》(The Sentinel)的双重版本。

In 2013, an Australian man a few months shy of turning 60 decided to walk the Camino de Santiago – an 800km pilgrimage trail across the top of Spain. He had no known religion, and absolutely no idea why he felt so deeply compelled to do this torturous walk.
But compelled, he was.
He completed the walk, battling a “triumvirate of pain” - a knee that he later discovered lacked any meaningful cartilage, a blister the sight of which would make a grown man weep, and shin-soreness that felt like his lower limb had been split with a mountain axe wielded by a demented troll.
Arriving at the end of the Camino, the majestic cathedral in Santiago de Compostela, he expected an epiphany – an answer to the question he’d been asking himself every day: Why am I doing this?
But no answer came.
So when he got home he wrote a book, hoping the answer would reveal itself in his scribblings. The result was The Way, My Way, a humourous and self-deprecating book that many consider the best memoir ever written on walking the Camino.
The book has now been made into a film, and it’s an extraordinary account of a man at a pivotal point in his life, searching for meaning and finding himself undergoing a fundamental transformation so profound that he now divides his life into “Before the Camino” and “After the Camino.”
It’s a story particular to one man, yet of appeal to anyone seeking a greater meaning from life.
