In del Toro’s feature debut, made when he was 28, antiques dealer Jesús Gris (Luppi) discovers a centuries-old device that grants immortality through the sting of a parasitic insect. As Gris confronts the physical toll of his own immortality, he must also keep the device from falling into the hands of a dying industrialist (Brook) and his violent henchman/nephew (Perlman). A new 4K restoration will be shown!
