A hymn to beauty and to freedom.

The 1940s, in a lost corner of the Pacific coast of Mexico. While groups of German tourists celebrate the Luftwaffe bombings of London in swimsuits, the former Reverend Lawrence T. Shannon, now a tour guide after being expelled from his church and having spent a time in a psychiatric clinic, reunites with a former lover who runs a small hotel.

La nit de la iguana reflects on the malaise of the globalised world, intimately threatened by the trivialisation of tourism and its encapsulated promises that lead to perpetual dissatisfaction with the lack of fruitful everyday alternatives. Also imbued with intoxicating twilight eroticism, Tennessee Williams' play emerges as a hymn to beauty and the perilous experience of freedom.
