I saw this short in a private screening, and I must say that it was one of the year's best. I'm not going to get into it, as my philosophy is that people should see films with as little information as possible so they can form their own opinions.

However, I am recommending it, and want to point out Gonzalo de Santiago's work as by far the best in the film.

Finally, this short is further proof that Spanish film is alive and kicking. Not only mainstream films, but they also have a budding independent film world, which should render many, possibly world, stars such as Gonzalo de Santiago, which I'm predicting will make his US debut soon enough.

The only negative thing I can say about it is that it should be hard to find a copy.

Spanish-language cinema across Spain and Latin America is united by its engagement with history, cultural identity, and social transformation. In Spain, films often balance artistic experimentation with popular genres while reflecting on memory, politics, and family. In Latin America, cinema has been deeply tied to questions of colonial legacy, resistance, and community resilience, ranging from intimate dramas to bold political allegories.

The drama genre is a broad category that features stories portraying human experiences, emotions, conflicts, and relationships in a realistic and emotionally impactful way. Dramas delve into the complexities of human life, often exploring themes of love, loss, morality, societal issues, personal growth, with the aim to evoke an emotional response from the audience by presenting relatable and thought-provoking stories.

The short form refers to creative works characterized by their brevity and concise storytelling. Unlike full-length feature films, short films have a running time of less than 45 minutes, while TV shorts have a running time of less than 22 minutes.
