The Devil’s Streams is based on a story by Julio Cortázar. A man takes a photo in a park and finds out why the image intrigues him so much: the photo is more intense than his own life. After this, a refined philosophical story develops about a man and a woman in a house, a kitchen and the park we saw previously on the photograph, in which fiction and fact repeatedly swap positions until the distinction between the two of them no longer seems important.
