Sinopsis

“When the River Whispers” is a drama with a touch of suspense about Martina, an 18-year-old girl who is in the waiting room of a courtroom, moments before testifying against the person who sexually abused her. 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.

Sinopsis

Ollie, a young and frenetic individual, rushes to the airport with his phone in hand, spitting chaotic conversations with multiple people. He’s ready to embark on a new life in another country. He finds himself at a point in his life where his overwhelming pace complicates seemingly simple tasks, such as catching a taxi to the airport. His concerns extend beyond the uncertainty that undoubtedly awaits him; a greater weight pushes him to leave his current situation.

A recent intense and tumultuous relationship with his ex-partner, a hectic social life, job instability, dashed dreams, and profound personal dissatisfaction bring him to a turning point in his life. Here, he confronts his own nature and experiences a catharsis. An unexpected phone call, which resolves Ollie’s doubts, makes him shudder, and he flees.

Sinopsis

The phone in my right hand and the mic in my left hand document what happened in between studying filmschool during 2019 – 2023, following my friends through Madrid and Prague and with the fortune of not altering their behaviour. A very thin line connects a bunch of moments that seem to be very disjointed and non-linear as if imitating the way memory works. Now I ask myself: ¿What do I remember about these 4 years? A whole of brush strokes come to my mind with the almost impossibility to find any kind of command in them and through my phone I have tried to protect them from being forgotten.
