XV Festival Internacional de Cine Documental
Synopsis
There are desires that are still waiting to be fulfilled. Las termas looks fondly upon Evangelina and at an old age shaped by frailty, humour and the desire to keep on living. Together with her brother Luis, she sets off on a journey filled with warm baths, prayers and little arguments that encapsulate a lifetime spent together. Along the way, the film discovers the tenderness of a rough yet endearing bond, where irritation and affection coexist, and where staying together is also a way of sustaining life. (FDM)
