Description

Lourdes, just 25 years old, embarks upon a journey to the Obaba territories. In her luggage she carries a small video camera. With the camera she intends to capture the reality of Obaba, its world, its people. She plans to capture the present, showing it just the way it is. But Obaba is not the place Lourdes had imagined, and soon she discovers what people live there, such as Merche, Ismael or Tomás. They are anchored in a past from which they can’t – or don’t want to – escape...
