The filmmaker Julián Pintos and his alter ego find themselves confined to their isolated home in the countryside during the pandemic ravaging Europe in the 21st century and embark on a strange journey of initiation, in which they will meet the mysterious Silver Mask (Myriam) and the two disturbing theatre masks, muses of comedy and tragedy, split into Esther and Diana. The characters are trapped in an enigmatic time tunnel and their only escape is to find the heart of Europe, recalling their respective pasts linked to the Old Continent and bringing to the surface the deepest ghosts and fears that each of them hides.
Julián Pintos, alter ego of the director Juan Pinzás, in his dreamlike universe, makes an introspective journey from the belly of his mother to the belly of Europe without severing the umbilical cord. Julián will be lost between the child he was, that man he now is, his mother's love and the duality of the woman he loves. All this in the entrails of the two European capitals through which he wanders, Berlin and Madrid, which with their past and present stir up Julián's dreams and anxieties.
“New York Shadows” is a psychological drama avant-garde that tackles the tribulations of Julian (Juan Pinzás) a Spanish filmmaker who comes to New York to visit the locations of filming his new movie and meet the American actress Jennifer (Lindsey Ireland) to star in the film. Suddenly something strange happens to the filmmaker who is caught in the story of his own script sharing disturbing illusions with the characters he has created.
The filmmaker Juan Pinzás goes on a physical and also inner journey, in search of some lost images that he filmed in the 80s. The journey takes him from Madrid to Galicia and on the search for these images he meets with various characters who will help him in his undertaking, such as the actors Paul Naschy and Javier Gurruchaga whose personal worlds will be examined in the film. Finally in Vigo, his home city, of which he presents a remarkable portrait, he finds an old film in Super-8mm with the missing images. The catharsis is produced with the viewing of the old film which turns out to be a tribute to cinema and this means the end of the filmmaker's introspective journey.
