The Lake Song

During one of her regular trips to the lake, Irene meets Nereia, the mysterious daughter of the engineer who rebuilt the dam. For some strange reason, her father keeps her isolated in the residence he built on the banks of the lake, so she has never been able to interact with other people. In an attempt to give her back the youth she has been denied, Irene invites Nereia to join her group of friends. It will be then when they discover that playing with the unknown can have a very high price.

NR 2023
Nocturne 29

Portabella’s first feature, co-scripted by poet Joan Brossa, became one of the most influential works of the Barcelona avant-garde, although like all his early films, it circulated only in an underground fashion. Eschewing dialogue, the director constructs a non-narrative story in fragments that reveal the daily lives of an adulterous couple interspersed with a cryptic stream of unrelated imagery. The title of this homage to directors including Eisenstein, Antonioni, Bergman, and Buñuel refers to the 29 “black years” of the Franco dictatorship. — chicago.cervantes.es
