Olores
Laura Gantes y Alba EsquinasWinner of the Grand Prize for Spanish Cinema at the Bilbao International Documentary and Short Film Festival, Olores is the debut short film by Alba Esquinas, with which she has garnered numerous festival selections and prestigious awards. This work without dialogue relies masterfully on its soundtrack to suggest emotions and sensations and to address the theme of memory, turning a story of a specific woman into the story of many. Synopsis: A photograph appears at the bottom of a drawer and triggers memories of an entire childhood: a childhood not only marked by the absence of the father who died in the war, but also by the pig slaughters and the blood-stained rags of the mother's butcher shop..
