"Man, in the need to explain and understand the world around him, gives the animal, especially on the symbolic level, the functions performed, at first only for himself. It is believed that the pig guesses its end, feels death, and on the eve of the slaughter spends the night beating on the door of the court, which is expressed with the belief that that night it gets up seven times to eat the owner". (Adrian Canoura)

Listen to Me
Taking the elegance and poetic power of the sea as main elements, Andrade subverts the role traditionally imposed on women. From observed objects to subjects that open their eyes to forgotten realities. Images that, when fading out, reflect a world whose sensitivity is mutating. Scenes of a dreamlike quality that borders surrealism so as to show the new order of things.

This filmmakers during the process of making this film are reading a book of haikus of Basho, that wrote in his lyrical diary "Oku no Oshomichi" about the beauty of some of the places where this Galician couple went to visit in their trip to Japan many centuries later.

Fragmentos de Brand
A tale in four times based in a theatrical performance inspired in the dramatic poem Brand by Henrik Ibsen. Brand wakes up next to a tree in the middle of a desolate space. He seems not remember who is he or what he is doing there. After wandering aimlessly, he meets three unknown who don't speak a word. Without knowing exactly what they want from him, Brand, who sees in everything what surrounds him biblical signs of a divine mission, lets himself be guided by them. From that moment, everything develops as a tale at the same time naive and cruel, in a rough, rude and primitive environment.

The gap
The world is shared among two territories, two states of the being of opposite condition, get strained, are in crisis, to form, to shape what already exists. There’s a wall and there’s always someone who will go and look for what shit is on the other side and maybe on the other side you don’t find what expected. “La Brecha” is a movie that questions the whole concept of artwork while exposing the mechanisms of self-censorship and self-control of the creators at the time of producing their works.
