A woman inherits a house from her grandparents and with it a number of responsibilities and surprises. Fortunately, they are still present and don't take long to intervene. Both were actors, and wrote books and directed films: two unclassifiable and inexhaustible artists who have left all of their past there. By means of an evocative and surrealist cinema collage, we immerse ourselves along with the main character in a journey to memory and her search for identity. A brilliantly eery and imaginative rapture which celebrates the cinema and creative freedom. An encounter between documentary and fiction based on the presence and absence of Emma Cohen and Fernando Fernán Gómez.

Organized by Visual Studies faculty John Muse and Matt O’Hare, Hurford Center for the Arts and Humanities Director Gus Stadler, Spanish faculty Lina Martínez Hernández, and Haverford’s Korean Culture Club. Made possible by the John B. Hurford ’60 Center for the Arts and Humanities; the VCAM Media & Makers Program; Bryn Mawr Film Institute; Lightbox Film Center; cinéSPEAK; and the Visual Studies Program at Haverford College.
