Synopsis
After a brief introduction by Arantxa Peña (usual actress in "atanic" films who locates us into the "atanic" universe), we can see three stories: Metaminds & Metabodies (1995), a crazy and very violent tale about how a sick drunkard meets a lascivious succubus into a hideous tavern's mirror; Morfing (1996), an Atanes' grotesque trip through independent cinema's sewers; and Welcome to Spain (1999), a bloody and lustful nightmare where some people fight for an absurdity: to go up the stairs.Actors

Tony (Oriol Aubets) runs a small science fiction video store bordering on bankruptcy; his relationship with Natalia (Karen Owens) is getting worse as time goes by, because their interests have diverged. One day, Tony goes to a science fiction convention where a well-known writer Félix Cadecq's (Manuel Solàs) comes to give a chat on his latest work. When he starts his speech, the writer makes a surprising declaration: it's worthless to keep writing science fiction novels, because he has found a new portal; a real and simple way to reach the stars. "Listen to my new CD-book and try it yourself", he proclaims. This announcement is not well received among his estranged fans; but Tony, touched by curiosity, buys Cadecq's CD in order to test what he said.

The end of the world is imminent. A man goes into a parallel dimension, a limbo between reality and fantasy where the normal rules of time and space have ceased to apply. His wife goes to rescue him. Both will be trapped in a strange and cruel world where a ruthless Queen organizes reality as a mad game of chess, a post-apocalyptic dystopia of domination and subjugation where characters can’t eat, speak or move about freely and are periodically viciously attacked.

Deux amis, en bonne compagnie dans un restaurant huppé avec jolies femmes, se lancent un défi: Pierre fait le pari à Jacques de ne ressentir la peur nulle part où son ami pourrait le mener. Aussitôt la gageure couchée sur papier et signée, les deux hommes quittent leurs amis et vont à la recherche du lieu du défi: ce sera un musée de cire voisin. Ils soudoient le directeur du musée, qui consent à laisser Pierre au milieu des figures de cire, natures mortes et autres mises en scène grotesques (par exemple, arrestation du criminel, préparation de l'exécution, guillotinage...). Plus la nuit avance, plus Pierre trouve les figures menaçantes: il tressaute devant les courants d'air, il tremble, il étouffe. C'est au moment où Jacques vient se reposer dans une pièce mitoyenne, séparée par une seule tenture sur laquelle se projette son ombre menaçante, que Pierre avec un visage de dément se saisit du couteau tenu par l'une des mannequins en cire, et le plante sauvagement dans le dos de son ami qu'il n'avait pas reconnu. Au matin, au-dessus du cadavre de Jacques, Pierre agite encore son poignard et ricane devant un public effaré : la mort et la folie l'ont emporté.
