THE TWO WELLS
Felip, a 63-year-old Mallorcan farmer, lives in seclusion on an old farm. His seemingly simple and quiet life hides a past that still festers: a tragic accident forever marked his existence. A family passing by on bicycles, a routine interrupted, a nightmare… Everything leads him, once again, to the well, the symbolic setting of his trauma. But the past does not go away.

WAINITAI: FINDING YOURSELF
In an Awajún community in the Amazon rainforest, 14-year-old Jarumi learns to follow the traditions and household tasks expected of her, while watching the boys enjoy a freedom that feels out of reach. Through her drawings and the nature she imagines from her room, a question begins to take shape: is there a place where she can simply be herself?

REPETITIONS
The film focuses on intimate interviews with patients at a small health resort, conducted in its gymnasium. Repetitive exercises serve as catalysts for personal stories of pain and pleasure, revealing the most vivid moments of human existence. The documentary is both an aesthetic essay on suffering and a story of regeneration and resilience.
