Abans de la vida
Directed by Pepa Català Fombuena
"What was there before life?" a child asks his mother. The answer is a story. A story the mother tells, illustrated with a series of beautiful and deliberately imperfect prints. And between its cracks, those of the landscapes and images, life emerges. After "They Only Thrown Away," Adrià Pagès and Pepa Catalá move into short form with a fable that is also an ode to motherhood.
