Dream and Silence

Sueño y Silencio

This is the story of a family who learned to live with a great tragedy – even though, ironically, the father suffers from insomnia and is unable to express his subconscious burden. The raw material of a melodrama is transformed in a complex, yet affectionate architecture in the hands of a daring filmmaker who experiments with analog technologies, camera angles, narrative, his guiding of actors, among others, in an attempt to prove the futility and necessity of working with the unforeseeable.
