While we normally don't put up news on a poster, this film has received very little attention and it's about to premier at the Valladolid International Film Festival (also known as Seminici) in Spain. Shot in stunning high contrast black and white, it's based on a graphic novel about an alcoholic who gets stigmata and stars Olympic shot putter Manuel Martínez in the lead role.

Estigmas is the story of Bruno, a rough man, strong and alcohol addicted. Bruno simply aims to be a normal person, but his fate is already written. One day he wakes up and his hands start bleeding. This is a trip to redemption through suffering, pain, and death. From now on he has to live with these new stigmas..

There's a big version of the poster after the break and you can watch the teaser here.
