Two elderly people live in a large house, following a dull and predictable routine. They are stalked by another elderly man—tall, dressed in a black coat, and with a ghostly presence—who eventually takes up residence in one of the rooms of the house. Based on Julio Cortázar’s short story of the same name, Casa tomada was one of the most important short films produced within the film department of the National University of La Plata between the 1960s and the early 1970s.
