The Undergrowth

On a plain in the Canary Islands, three sisters meet to unravel the fate of the family land on which they grew up. Filmmaker Macu Machín’s first feature immerses us in a suspended atmosphere, where bodies, silences, and the sounds of nature speak louder than words.

To Our Friends

With filmmaking that skillfully blurs boundaries between fact and fiction, Spain’s Adrián Orr plunges us into four years of Sara’s life as she transitions from adolescence to adulthood in the suburbs of Madrid. A sparkling coming-of-age story imbued with a gentle nostalgia.
