NATIONAL SHORT FILM SECTION
World Premiere

An audiovisual elegy on the fragility of memories, the beauty of farewells, and the genesis of a deeply personal musical project. As his grandmother Mima’s memory begins to fade, Manuel returns to his village to rescue the letters and thoughts she used to write to him. Built over three years into an intimate, sensory collage—interweaving home videos, WhatsApp audio messages, and stripped-back songs—the film shows how the pain of loss transforms into creative drive. His voice and Andalusian-rooted guitar do not seek to hold onto what is slipping away, but to accompany it with loving honesty.

Cast: Concepción Velasco, Manuel Navas, Alba Cecilia Pérez, Borja González.

Screening:
2 November, 10 p.m. VOSE
With an introduction by director Darío Vázquez and lead artist El Nieto Manuel, followed by a Q&A and a concert.
