FINISTERRE

Synopsis:

Finisterre is a trip back to the beginning of a story. It is the trip of Laura, my grandmother, to her hometown in Galicia, after 60 years of having emigrated to Argentina. During this trip through the "Terra Galega", Laura meets her two children, whom she has not seen in 15 years. Memory seems eroded by time and it is reunions that thrill and move. The uprooting of migrants has left an indelible mark on Laura.

Finisterre tells of an old age in motion, of giving himself at the end of his life the possibility of remembering and forgiving the past.

Director Note:

Finisterre is an intimate portrait of a family of migrants. Laura, my grandmother, emigrated from Galicia to Argentina escaping from Franco dictatorship and her children, many years later, emigrated to her mother's land during the Argentine crisis of 2001. With the excuse of Laura's return to her hometown, Finisterre, after 60 years, there are very close moments of reunion where emotions come to the surface. The economics of production resources are in this case a benefit to achieve the intimacy and authenticity that the story deserve.
