El Amigo de los Pobres

A moving short documentary that tells the inspiring story of Cipriano González, a local hero from Toledo, Spain, whose dedication to those most in need transformed the community over nearly seven decades. From his humble birth in Mensalbas in 1936 during the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War to the founding of the NGO Socorro de los Pobres, this documentary weaves a moving story of altruism and unconditional love. Through intimate interviews with family members, NGO volunteers, and those whose lives were touched by his generosity, the film delves into the heart of a man who, moved by his own experience with poverty, committed himself to ensuring that "no one would go without a plate of food on the table."

The limits of the landscape are always the same, because they do not understand political borders, but geographical features. A line that separates the sea from the sky, mountainous waves that cut across the sky. Regardless of where you are, these limits follow the same pattern. This film proposes as a starting point the use of these limits to create a sort of landscape collage, to reconstruct the image of the landscape by combining space and time from the capture of the image; from the present, and not from the subsequent construction in post-production, hence the key role of the analogue image.
