Cinematography
Galician landscapes that ache with absence and beauty.
Acting
Rubén Riós carries grief like a second language.
Writing
Dialogue sparse as the depopulated hills it depicts.
Director
Ignacio Vilar
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Shot in A Fonsagrada, one of Spain's most depopulated regions, using locals as extras. The empty houses aren't sets.
Vilar deliberately blurred timelines between young and adult Breixo/Sonia to suggest time folds in places people leave.
