In search of traces and imprints of an absence, this film examines the coexistence between nature and man-made structures or artifacts, to deliver a formal object of commemoration. An obscure celebration of the surface of a fractured and exhausted world, what could have been a city symphony evokes instead the feeling of a mausoleum for our present existence. Pablo Marín’s latest film, premiered at International Film Festival Rotterdam and was selected for New York Film Festival's Currents strand and Viennale, among others.
