A memory exercise, a crystalized moment in time that captures poetic and existential quotidian gestures. A journey into a world of estrangement in which nothing is what it seems, yet it gives way to the vision of a better future after the storm. A work that begins with a sequence of correspondences in the distance to gradually become an essay that reflects on the perception of time, confinement, the impact of man on nature and the very act of filmmaking.

A charming and meditative ode to the city of Madrid, where Guzmán studied directing and filmmaking during the 1960s, and escaped to from Chile after the military coup. Traveling through the streets of contemporary Madrid, Guzmán’s essayistic film freely draws inspiration from the landmarks, the music, the people, and the culture to evoke experiences, reflections, and insights in order to relate the nature of his historical and personal connection to the city.
