We are dust
The premiere of the short film Cuerdas at this year's Cannes Film Festival clearly announces the creative maturity of Bilbao director Estibaliz Urresola, trained in production.
Since 2012, with the creation of her production company Sirimiri Films, she has been doing directing work that has already achieved four short films that demonstrate the ease with which she moves between the documentary look and the narrative solvency of fiction. With this, her second short film, she demonstrates her concern for the world of identity and family, which runs through all her work as a thematic line.
Synopsis: Ane returns to her hometown for the unexpected funeral of her grandfather. The return brings with it a tense reunion with the women of her family. Everything takes on a strange aspect when she begins to suspect certain anomalies on the part of the funeral home.
