Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Juanjo Giménez Peña won the Palme d'Or for Short Film in 2016 for 'Timecode,' making this follow-up highly anticipated in festival circles.
The title's grammatical strangeness—'The owl has not seen the glass' rather than 'did not see'—suggests ongoing, perhaps eternal, blindness.
