DocumentaMadrid
XV Festival Internacional de Cine Documental
Synopsis
Anyone taking time out to calmly take a dive into this short film will feel surrounded by the sea, the mountains, a megalithic area, Basque fishermen, a convent turntable, blue horizons, a group walk in tribute, a chapel like a stranded ship, a song in Basque, a circle of men like a circle of stones, reflections on maritime rescues, viruses and other mundane considerations, a sculpture by Jorge Oteiza, a Caterpillar engine, nostalgia, silence, chance and two dozen eggs made into an offering to some nuns so they'll pray that it does not rain.
