The lead explanations, done with printed overlays at the beginning of the film, tell a compelling story of a mysterious apparition which frequents public toilet facilities in Buenos Aires.
Supposedly this is the spectre of a dead girl who gets the sobriquet 'little cotton girl' from the fact that she appears to have cotton stuffed into her aural and nasal cavities.
Good enough story, particularly when the added data piece is given at the end of the movie that several unexplained disappearances have occurred over the years affecting people going to in public washrooms.
Then, the film falls on its face. Other than a jerky camera, some fuzzing of the edges of the frames and rather subdued lighting accompanied by aminous music, nothing really happens.
A man urinates. He reads a scatalogical piece of graffiti on the walls of his stall. He senses there may be someone in the adjoining compartment. Checking underneath the walls, he sees nothing.
Several shots are presented of a small figure standing still at the end of a hallway.
And that's it! After all that buildup, I can't say that the delivery was at all satisfying.
