DocumentaMadrid
XV Festival Internacional de Cine Documental
Synopsis
Through keen observation, housing complexes in peripheral neighborhoods that are low, high, wide, narrow, yellow, orange, brown, with green curtains, or with white windows, joined together by hanging clothes on lines, or separated by squares with fountains, some with water and others with pigeons. The myth gets built in a space, in a specific city, though it could be any city. In a neighborhood. In that neighborhood, a man dozes in his grocery store on a hot summer afternoon. The buildings also doze. But a foreboding dream startles the man in the store. The next day, the city will have changed forever and no one will remember how to get back home. A map is needed to get in, or a map to escape. Just like in myths and legends, there is a labyrinth rising up before us. (IG)
