About the film
A woman armed with a pistol comes in the house of Dr. Villalba. She blames him because her husband, who has a terminal cancer, has been denied the only treatment that could prolong his life. With an atmosphere charged with violence, A Monster with a Thousand Heads poses a strong social critique of a health system that often puts ethics above the economic interests of a select few.
