Samuel Caraballo

There is a plague in Santo Domingo

A boy sends a letter to his mother telling his experience living in the capital

Every Flame Tree is a Burning Island

Santo Domingo, the heat, the flame trees and the Sun. An essay-poem.

Olivia & the Clouds

Olivia & the Clouds explores love's complexities through a Rashomon effect. Olivia, haunted by a past love, hides it under her bed. She trades flowers with this ghost in exchange for comforting rain clouds. Barbara, rejected by Mauricio, escapes reality through fantastical stories. Mauricio, full of regrets, is swallowed by the earth. Ramon, smitten by Olivia, witnesses the growth of a strange plant mirroring her. With surreal elements, the film delves into the enduring power of love's memory.

Pienso mucho en la foto que no tomé

Due to the lack of memories of Samuel's childhood, an obsession was born to generate a film archive of short scenes, portraits of his loved ones and poetry in the city of Santo Domingo.
