Stereocordis

STEREOCORDIS

Dir. Miguel Hernández Ares

Sinopsis

Mercedes’ (65) most precious memory is an old improvised tape recording, the audioguide of a forgotten art piece from a museum that nobody else notices. Nevertheless, Mercedes comes everyday to hear the voice of his deceased husband through her headphones. One day, Mercedes realizes that the old audioguide has been replaced by a lifeless and robotic voice. She storms out of there but doesn’t know what to do to bring back her husband’s voice to the museum. Her daughter Julia (35) believes it’s best this way, an opportunity to move on once and for all. When Mercedes hears the news that she won’t be able to recover the tapes, she must find a way to honor her husband that allows her to continue living. Stereocordis is a story about grief, about learning to live without your loved ones and the importance of building a network of support to honor the memory of those who are no longer here.

The first time

THE FIRST TIME

Dir. Ander Santamaría Canento

Sinopsis

The First Time is not the typical romantic comedy. It tells us the story of Casto and María, two young virgins who feel the social pressure of losing their virginity. Our protagonists meet at a party and end up in a room having sex or, rather, trying to. Far from being the ideal rom-com, this short-film portrays a first time in a raw and realistic way

They start to get intimate, but then soon realize that it is not going to be as incredible as they expected. They pretend to know what they are doing to avoid the embarrassment of what the other might think, but this is useless. After some clumsy attempts at touching, kissing and blowjobs, the sex ends up being a disaster.

Finally, the situation becomes extremely uncomfortable which leads them to stop and confess their virginity to each other. They decide to embrace that inexperience and start from scratch to get to know each other better, this time in a sincere way.

TIOVIVO

Dir. Roberto De La Muela

Sinopsis

One argument in Stuart Mill’s Utilitarianism is that if a truth is not intended to do good or cause harm to other people it is better not to be told. Four friends hold their friendship under this idea and even with a great deal of trust, they lack the communication necessary to deal with their problems. A night of partying involving a carousel will end up bringing out the truth along with the wildest side of four friends.
