In presence of Ainhoa Rodríguez, Friday November 5.
In a small, deserted village in Extremadura, trapped by patriarchal traditions and the weight of religion, women await a resounding event that promises to challenge their lives, even save them. This mesmerizing first film is like a waking dream that mixes surrealism and poetry.
In a small, deserted village in Extremadura, surrounded by patriarchal traditions and the weight of religion, women await a resounding event that promises to challenge their lives, even save them. For nine months, the director filmed the villagers, mixing their testimonies with fiction, and letting unspoken words transpire. This bewitching and oneiric debut film blends surrealism with poetry and is carried by exceptional non-professional actresses.
