The Devil's Bones (2006)

In this ritualistic adaptation of the spinning wheels, an ancient world-wide order stands behind the rules of a fatal game. In the vacant depot of a train yard, the Devil´s Bones are thrown into a circle of chalk and soil, dictating the identities and prescribed fortune of the two playerettes and the ‘rabbit’. Amid the dust and flickering wicks, they play because they must. Though the ending of this rite is imminent, nothing is certain except the sacrifice of a naked body on the rails.
