ORIGINAL TITLE
Sueño y silencio

One of Spain’s most personal and provocative auteurs, Jaime Rosales (Bullet in the Head) returns with this unsettling tale of a man who, following the death of his daughter in a car accident, forgets that the girl ever existed. Interested in showing the entire process of the family’s healing, Rosales minutely follows their smallest gestures and most offhand remarks, catching those seemingly unconscious moments that can paradoxically be the most revealing. Beautifully shot in black-and-white CinemaScope.
