La Cal

Miguel Hernández Ares

Synopsis

For a small town team, qualifying for the National Cup means the opportunity of playing one of the great teams from La Liga. Besides the result, just being there is a reason for celebration. 

Alberto scores the goal that puts his team in the phase draw, but he’s not as euphoric as everyone around him; he’s thinking of quitting football so he decides to skip practice the next day. A good performance against one of the top teams could be the opportunity he’s been seeking for years, but Alberto knows the sacrifice that chasing his dream means for his family, so maybe this is the time to step aside and stop relying on chance. 

When they realize this is happening, his father Manuel and his teammate Fran try to give him advice and make him look at his dilemma from a different perspective, but the ultimate decision relies only on him.

Synopsis

Emma, a 10-year-old girl, ventures into a landscape of silence and memories, clinging  to small objects and quiet rituals. In her daily life, she seeks meaning in the ordinary,  caught between innocence and a deep introspection that seems beyond her years.  Without words, Emma expresses through gestures and glances a special bond with  someone absent, whose presence is felt in every corner of her world.

This short film  explores Emma’s experience in an intimate portrait that reflects childhood’s encounter  with impermanence.

Sinopsis

Daniel is a lonely 35-year-old surgeon who works the night shift at a hospital and is sexually aroused by wounds. This is a facet of his life that he keeps secret, in the solitude of his apartment, where he fulfills this need by masturbating while watching a live stream on his computer in which a girl, Diana, cuts herself with a scalpel. Daniel’s problems begin when Diana is rushed to the hospital where he works to be operated on after having gone too far with the cuts. At this point, Daniel’s two worlds collide. Diana is now flesh and blood. Despite the excitement of the moment and the strong connection they establish, Daniel manages to successfully complete the operation.

During Diana’s stay in the hospital, Daniel can’t find a way to satisfy his desires, something that drives him to despair. After a brief encounter at the hospital, Daniel will discharge Diana so she can continue streaming, but now Daniel knows Diana’s identity and will struggle between continuing to hide his desires in the virtual world or living them out in real life.
