Screenings

Spain, 1932. A young man awaits to see if he has secured membership of the local casino. In 1937, a young nationalist soldier guards a republican prisoner. Jump to 2017 and an unexpected document is inherited by an historian from his grandfather. These timelines and a breathtaking cinematic audacity shapes this dazzlingly constructed and performed triptych about communication, inheritance, silence and memory.
