In
a colonisation village built under Francoism, the neighbours settle on an empty
plot once occupied by the open-air cinema. They set up a big shade, chairs and some
plants. The camera and microphone record the settlement process: the movement,
the gestures, the conversations and glances, the drawings and the bells
tolling; a biker with flowers and two goldfinches; children engrossed by a
screen.
Some neighbours take in the fresh air and chat. The village is reinterpreted by local mythology. The unique architecture and the eucalyptus forest that surrounds it acquire new meanings.
