A Love Song in Spanish

Directed by Ana Elena Tejera

France, Panama | 24 minutes | 2021

She lives in lonely monotony, her days are a routine of repetitive actions. Then she stops, and in the silence she remembers the body of a man stroked by war. She tries to free herself of the memory, but the memory goes through the skin. A biographical performance between the director and her grandmother to confront the domestic dictatorship of their family.
