Synopsis

Leonor is a very active woman despite her seventy years. The serious illness, which she suffers from, has not stopped her. She lives in a building sold to a vulture fund and fights for her only three neighbors, older than her.

Pepe arrives at the building, after a marital and business failure. At fifty, he is lost. Fortunately, an old friend gives him the opportunity to live, for a while, in his mother’s old apartment. There he will meet Sara, a young and intelligent woman who comes from an NGO to take care of Leonor. The work has been exhibited in renowned museums such as 1646 Experimental Art Space in The Hague, Netherlands, and CA2M in Madrid, Spain.

Synopsis

Alba and Martín embark on a trip to the southeast of Spain. They make a stop at an isolated farmhouse in the middle of the desert, whose esplanade is full of furniture and objects for sale.

As they silently observe those relics belonging to broken relationships, they perceive the nostalgia for an already exhausted feeling, which last throes show them that their journey is a flight forward.

This story is a small x-ray of the sentimental relationships of today’s society, which after completing the first three stages of the natural cycle of a couple, tend to stagnate, due to the lack of common projects, the dictatorship of capitalist desire or the insecurity as a result of affective deficiencies during childhood. It is an intimate and generational drama, told from the point of view of three female protagonists, in which the complexity of human nature and the decadence of love dialogue with the landscape.
