In this evocative debut feature, Lucía Aleñar Iglesias expands the universe created in her award-winning short film of the same name. The Madrid-born filmmaker starts from a physical space (a house in Mallorca, by the sea) to reveal, little by little, the interiority of a family plunged into grief: a granddaughter (Zoe Stein, as unsettling as she is moving), a grandfather (Lluís Homar, in an unusually restrained performance), a mother, and the ghostly presence of the grandmother, who has just passed away. From Cría cuervos to Verónica, stories of (and with) ghosts have constituted ideal frameworks for coming-of-age and transition-to-adulthood narratives, but Aleñar Iglesias avoids the clichés of the subgenre with an aesthetic, formalist, and rigorous proposal that emulates a worn-out postcard and features a prickly central character, Cata (Stein), who defies all definition.
