The inhabitants of a mountain village resist depopulation and isolation. Eladio, the local forest ranger, goes in search of a female bear wandering the valley. When Xacobo, an elderly villager, gets lost in the mountains, events take an unexpected turn as stories of care, loss, and resilience unfold.
Sebastián Uría
Born in 1988 in Ponferrada (León), he studied History at the University of Granada before completing a Master's degree in Film Directing and Production at La Satis, École supérieure publique de cinéma de France in Marseille. His first short fiction film, ‘Saudade’ (2015), won awards at various festivals in Europe and Africa, and he later directed ‘Marseille en V.O.’ for the MuCEM (Museum of European and Mediterranean Civilizations). Through an observational approach and a precise use of cinematic time, his films explore the relationship between community, landscape, and memory, with a particular focus on the processes of rural depopulation and the tensions between the human and the non-human. Having directed the short films ‘O paxaro afundido’ (2019), ‘O derradeiro tiro’ (2023) and ‘Segador’ (2024), ‘Farewell, Rivers’ marks his feature film debut.
