Out of Control

Surreal and haunting, Out of Control is an original, plot-driven thriller by filmmaker Alejandro Rivas-Micoud that drags us from a comfortable contemporary setting to a magical rendezvous with mythology, science and fate. Set in Spain and the colorful Ibiza, the plot underscores dialogue and continuous plot twists as it shares the wanderlust of a dangerous discovery. Daniel acquires an antique manuscript holder and soon discovers that every fantasy he writes in it begins to happen in real life. At first, he feels as if fate has smiled on him until a close relative dies unexpectedly, and Daniel realizes that someone has written the grisly death in the mysterious journal. In a rush of action, various antagonists add ink to the pages in an attempt to influence each other's destiny, but a writing of unknown origin appears intent on its own design. As Daniel's charmed life turns into one fraught with loss, he believes he has unearthed the true meaning of fate and luck-but who is in control?
