Director of Photography: Ángel Jara Taboada, Director: Lau Charles
After their parents separate, two siblings, Quique and Valentina, move into a tiny apartment under their mother’s care. On the first Sunday with their father, he introduces them to his "new family," where the siblings discover that their half-sister is the same age as Valentina.
Through a cinematographic diptych, we experience their emotions and perspectives, piecing together the director's fragmented memories, culminating in a revealing image of her real family 25 years later.
