Dance with the reaper
2024 Carlota Massó
Sofía, the most wanted criminal in the state, cannot escape her fate after a relentless chase. In this face-to-face encounter with Death, a dance begins—driven by love at first sight. But Death has a job to do: claim Sofía’s soul. Now, Death must make a crucial decision.
Worn Out from Use
2024 Iván Melguizo
Does love run out? Does it have an expiration date?
Sofía and Alex, a couple like many others, embark on a love story—a journey of encounters and missteps, highs and lows. They move from mutual attraction to unrestrained passion, then to love. But at this stage, coexistence and the mere passage of time force their beautiful story to begin writing its ending.
Perhaps love wore out from being used too much.
This film aims to be a reflection on the ephemeral nature of romantic relationships among both young and not-so-young people today.
