Description: Julia, our protagonist, falls in love with a newcomer to a small town. However, after a couple of encounters, they don’t see each other again. Everything points towards her being kidnapped and probably tortured. In “Félix VR” we get to know the story of Julia. It is a nightmare for our protagonist where while she is kidnapped she regrets every lie she told Félix. Those lies haunt her, remaining etched to her skin, like tattoos…
Felix VR is a narrative experience based on the series by Movistar+ where we get to know what’s inside Felix’s nightmares, expanding the story and helping us understand the truths and lies behind Julia in a surreal and dreamlike setting. The series is set in a small town in the Pyrenees and tells the story of Julia, an enigmatic oriental woman who falls in love with, Felix, a newcomer with an ordinary life, and suddenly disappears, starting a series of mysteries and challenges for him.
Review: Félix VR is a 360 video short story based on the Spanish series “Félix” by Movistar+ While I won’t go into the storyline here or spoilers all I will say is the storyline is dark and weird, but it held my interest from start to finish. While it isn’t the best quality 360 video I have ever seen, it was good enough to get the story across. You can view it in Spanish or English, but in English, the translation takes away from the story a little bit, so I suggest you watch it in Spanish and enjoy the visuals. Sure it doesn’t last long (just over 5 minutes), but at least it is free for us all to enjoy it. Also, you don’t have to own a VR headset as you can watch the whole thing in the video below! Why not watch it and let me know what you think about it in the comments below.
