El canto de los años nuevos

A traditional song welcomes us to La Gomera, an island of mythical codes and its own language that goes beyond words. A man recalls dreams he has had since he was four years old: flights across the country, traveling across it end to end in a process of continuous discovery. Alexander Cabeza Trigg sets out to capture these dreamlike images by filming the island's lush natural environment and the reflections that emerge from the plants and trees. A captivating visual work that offers an even more captivating sound through its dialogue. The "whistling of Gomera" serves as a guide, transporting us through this space that holds ancestral vestiges, bones and stones of past times, to this day practically untouched. El canto de los años nuevos is a powerful sensory experience that gives us a glimpse into the mystery. Cinema that combines the organic and the atmospheric that attains an eternal dimension. (JHE)
