El After del Mundo

Mankind no longer exists, only Fluor and Carlix, two ghosts in sportswear, remain. They wander among the remains of an extinct civilization, one in search of a Wi-Fi connection, the other in search of the head of a giant cetacean. A story of encounter and friendship, punctuated by a final playlist: that of the end of the world.

Saving Some Random Insignificant Stories

Saving Some Random Insignificant Stories is a goodbye film to the director’s parents’ house. One night in December 2021, after an unusually extreme weather event, the house flooded, and they had to be rescued by a boat. They lost almost everything that night, including their dog and their cat. Two days after the flood, when the water level went down and the director could finally enter the house, she tried to extract as many objects as possible, and for the rest, this film was made.
