Umbral

When Leonel first uses a diaper inside the nursing home, he is confronted with his body's decline. Anita is a nurse and witness to this process. He shuffles between two worlds, imagination and reality, madness and joy, spiritual and material. Leonel finds himself immersed in a place where the greatest hope and the greatest fear is leaving.

With Eyes Shut

Gabo and Maga are an old couple who have lived together all their life and depend emotionally on each other completely. Delia, their grand-daughter, was brought up by them. The three of them live together harmoniously in a cosy atmosphere. At the age of 27, she already has a promising career in a big company. Everything is turned upside down with Maga’s sudden death just at the moment when Delia is assigned a very responsible task, the management of a major project which may launch her carer or bring it to an inglorious end. And what’s more to it, in the opening of the testament it turns out that Maga had expressed the wish that her ashes be dispersed in the Caribbean. Delia is facing a serious dilemma, as in her grand-father’s life there is nothing else now but the accomplishment of his companion’s last wish at a time when Delia can not abandon her professional commitment for a trip to the Caribbean.
