The title and synopsis of Mexican director, screenwriter and editor Ernesto Martínez Bucio‘s feature directorial debut sure sound ominous. The Devil Smokes (and Saves the Burnt Matches in the Same Box), or El Diablo Fuma (y guarda las cabezas de los cerillos quemados en la misma caja), gets its world premiere in the new Perspectives section of the 75th edition of the Berlin Film Festival on Saturday.

Promising “a journey back into the magical world of childhood,” the film, set in Mexico City in the mid-1990s, portrays sibling relationships and the formation of fear that is passed on from one generation to another. And it has a “supernatural” tag on the Berlin festival website.

“After the sudden disappearance of their parents, five siblings are left in the care of their grandmother, a synopsis reads. “As they struggle to survive, the line between reality and something darker begins to blur.”

If you don’t find any of that disturbing, the trailer may change your mind. It shows one of the kids not putting her head in the sand, but – well, you’ll see!

Co-written by the director and Mariapau Karen Plata, the movie’s cast includes Bravo Aviña, Rafael Nieto Martínez, Regina Alejandra, Donovan Said, and Laura Uribe Rojas.

The director’s short films have premiered at high-profile festivals including Cannes, San Sebastián, and Rotterdam. He also participated in Berlinale Talents in 2016.
