Historia
Fatso, a middle-aged man living in isolation, spends his days consuming conspiracy theories and video games, fixated on the idea of eternal life since childhood. He attempts various methods to achieve immortality despite his misanthropic nature. One day, his monotonous existence is disrupted by two vampires, Egons and Carlos, who appear at his trailer doorstep. They inform him that he has been chosen as 'the chosen one' and offer him the chance to become a vampire, claiming his transition would be seamless due to his already antisocial lifestyle. The duo promises Fatso a more fulfilling life if he accepts their invitation.
Resumen
'Touched by Eternity', directed by Marcis Lacis and Mārcis Lācis in 2024, is a unique blend of comedy and horror from Latvia. The film follows Fatso, a curmudgeonly character who has isolated himself in a remote woodland trailer, obsessing over cryptocurrency and immortality theories. When two vampires arrive at his doorstep, offering him eternal life as one of them, Fatso must confront his antisocial lifestyle and consider whether this new existence is truly what he desires. The film explores themes of loneliness, redemption, and the struggle between one's desired identity and reality.
