The final dedication of El soldao by Alejandro Cabrera "To all those places where times mix and everything happens simultaneously" perfectly condenses the essence of this film, in which the mixture of formats and plans allow generating a dialogue between different eras in a deeply nostalgic gesture. With a documentary approach, the abundance of close-ups forms a series of biographies with which to outline an image of the community.
Synopsis: El soldao is the portrait of Francisco, an emigrated Andalusian, who returns to his hometown in Córdoba every year. This time the house where he once lived awaits him alone, empty since his mother died. This is an intimate and personal story that investigates rural depopulation while inviting us to try to discover how the places that already only exist in us build us.
