CASA BONITA
BEAUTIFUL HOUSE
Paula Amor / Spain / 2021 / 12 min / Colour
European premiere
Against the backdrop of the mountains of Iberian Galicia, on the windy Cantabrian coast, a nice old lady attempts to advertise her offer of accommodation for pilgrims walking the Camino de Santiago. The waves crash noisily on the rocks, while inside her beautiful little house, the protagonist's fingers slowly and tenaciously press the keys of her PC keyboard. The digital world slows down to the rhythm of an old woman, between sips of tea. In search of a global connection, the protagonist finally finds a much more concrete and profound one with the chickens in her henhouse, as unaware of the digital transition as the waves of the sea.
