Les dues vides d'Andrés Rabadán (2009)

Submerged in the whirlwind of his own existence, Andrés Rabadán, known to the world as "The Crossbow Madman," is torn between the pages of a chilling real-life tale. To the untrained eye, he is a symbol of paralyzing horror, an enigma wrapped in the shroud of psychosis. However, for the scholars of the human mind, he serves as a compelling case study of a psychotic breakdown, a narrative worthy of textbooks. Doomed to two decades of confinement by the law, Andrés finds solace in the unlikeliest of places, his prison cell, where he befriends a fellow inmate and meets his future wife. Yet, he remains haunted by the chilling echoes of a fateful night. February 6, 1994: following a heated argument with his father, Marcial Rabadán, Andrés retreats to solitude. The tension of their dispute lingers in the air as he reaches for his crossbow, a gift from Reyes, loading it in a trance-like state. A single shot, the arrow finds its mark in his father's head, followed by two more, a mercy he rationalizes to himself. The chilling embrace of his father's lifeless body imprints a haunting memory that refuses to fade. With the weight of his deed heavy on his soul, Andrés walks into a police station, turning himself in. While life behind bars continues, he finds outlets for his tormented soul through art and literature, staging exhibitions of his drawings and penning two books. He embarks on a journey to silence "the voices," and in that struggle, he ceases to dream of his father's corpse, a testament to his resilience and will to move on. The tale of Andrés Rabadán is one of terror and redemption, a gripping exploration of the human psyche under duress. His life, a testament to the terrifying depths and redeeming heights of the human spirit, continues to unfold, captivating audiences with its raw intensity.
