Sinopsis

A link between the human and the technological, represented in a dreamlike journey between the real and the generative.

“Nature devastates, emotion pierces, transforms, deforms”… The real and the generative intertwine to converge at a single point: the natural. What does the congruent point between the vertigo of these realities express?

In this journey, two elements that create an overwhelming atmosphere for the character come to the forefront: a tree and the sea. What does this generated atmosphere transmit to the viewer?

We accompany the character in this confused dream, who has no clarity, except for what they feel.

In the room, with her, is Alfonso, her father, a man who has been divorced for several years due to his issues with alcohol, which prevented him from seeing his daughter for a while.

Locked in the waiting room, the situation is a bit tense: there is a secret that no one talks about. The father wants to discuss it, Martina wants to escape. The tension between father and daughter will escalate until it all explodes. An accident caused by Martina will make things come to a head, and the family secret will come to light.
