Los saldos (The Balances)
The transfer of knowledge between parents and their descendants was the only means by which rural families maintained their traditions until the arrival of new technologies gradually transformed their habits. The migrations also broke with that logic, although they never dispossessed the inhabitants of that ancestral knowledge. In The Balances, a father and a son will have to face evidence that work and living together are bringing to light: their lives are very different. The director Raúl Capdevila uses his training as a filmmaker to tell us his family history and works the magic of turning his way of life into an artistic reference that reveals how cinema allows us to observe the world with different eyes.
