April 2022. A young couple has just moved into an old empty house, Manzano and Pia.

A painting hanging on the wall is the only and solitary object left by the former tenants.
April 1979. Casal, a young artist, is working in his studio on his new painting.
Greta, his partner and muse, poses for him.
The brushstrokes on the canvas will be the testimony of that moment years later.
Blind Flowers by Rosa Delgado Leyva

An economically well-positioned woman feels trapped, although resigned, in her family because of the harassment her husband has subjected her to. A fortuitous trip on the subway in which she finds herself surrounded by people of all kinds while she receives some calls to her mobile, from her husband and her friend, will make her aware.
Anna Magdalena Bach: Two Women by Miguel Ángel Barroso García
Spain 2023
Short Experimental
A poetic portrait of the music and singer Anna Magdalena Wilcke, second wife of Johann Sebastian Bach, which explores her inner search through an imaginary mirror in which the girl and the woman look at each other face to face, observe each other with mutual respect and, finally, speak to each other considering their lives through the music that flows through them like an unexpected stream, although sought out and translated on the stave as immortal notes; this music is responsible for their moods: sadness, melancholy and joy overflow equally through the seasons ridden with memories.
Juan Mariné, Between Light and Shadow by Rafael Toba
Spain 2023
Feature Documentary
Juan Mariné, born on December 31, 1920, is the testimony of someone who has lived a century making films since the 1930s.
Director of photography, restorer and inventor. The Spanish Civil War marked a life surrounded by characters and events that have gone down in history.
In Entre luz y sombra we will see the human face of Juan Mariné, an incombustible veteran capable of illuminating the deepest darkness of our memory.
