In this deeply symbolic film, an elderly man undergoes preparations for his partner’s cremation and burial.
Stripping narrative down to its bare bones, Pablo Lamar’s debut feature is an elegant entry in the slow cinema canon. After an elderly man helps an ailing woman take her last bite of food, he undertakes preparations for a cremation ritual, which is then interspersed with shots of flowing water and fire.

The journey Lamar offers is exquisitely rendered, and one well worth taking.
