Description of Tamae Garateguy's Until You Untie Me (Hasta que me desates) from the Mar del Plata International Film Festival: "When she presented She Wolf, a tale of revenge filled with sex and blood, Tamae Garateguy showed an impertinent boldness with which she went to places local genre cinema had hardly ever visited. Hasta que me desates shares with that film the risk for the extreme, this time bringing back the taste for the erotic thriller, a genre that used to invade the screens but has now become rare. The film follows the footsteps of two protagonists. On one hand, a young dancer who, after a fatal accident in which she lost her family, is left immersed in a pit of despair that leads her towards self-destruction, flirting with death. On the other, a doctor bearing the infamy of a malpractice case. Their paths meet in what is the beginning of a spiral in which fascination and madness squirm in a nightmarish love story, and where sex explores areas of extreme fetishism, complete with graphic S&M and stylized bondage. Once more, one can perceive in Garateguy's hands a perverse pleasure for going beyond the limits, and in her search for strong emotions she finds a voice as urgent as it is unique."
