Her children, we, Raúl and Santiago, discover among the objects left by our mother hundreds of photographs from our maternal grandfather, from REGINA -our great-aunt-, from our mother, from our father... And through those photographs, and with the help from an old camera -my grandfather's inheritance-, I, -along several trips to the places where those photographs were taken-, seek to recover and not lose my memory... that of my family.

The Crypt: The Last Secret

Today, Leonor, a young teacher, flees to a small town in the mountains to try to recover from the death of her husband and the loss of the baby she was expecting. He takes refuge in the daily activity with the school children and the friendship he establishes with Miguel, a forestry agent. But the hostility of the inhabitants of the region and some visions that torment her lead her to believe that she is going crazy, as if an irresistible mysterious force led her to be related to that story of betrayal and death of seven hundred years ago. "La Loba", a strange woman despised by all, will end up revealing the truth of that fascinating and wonderful story.

Autofiction

Borrowing its title from a literary genre, the film acknowledges the indeterminacy of both fiction and the self. Noir elements are reduced to deadpan gestures under bright California sunlight. Field recordings made in New Zealand are heard as women speak with each other about motherhood, abortion, breakups and anxiety. A civil rights parade moves slowly down a street. Bodies appear in states of weariness, injured or at rest, while songs by Irma Thomas and Goldberg evoke the passing of time and an uncertain future.
