LA IMATGE PERMANENT

Laura Ferrés

Spain, France

- 2023

National premiere

In rural Southern Spain Antonia, a fifteen-year-old mother, disappears in the middle of the night. 50 years later and much further north, Carmen, an introverted casting director, is looking for people to share their experiences when arriving in a new city. In her search, she meets Antonia, whose impulsiveness intrudes into Carmen’s solitude. Who said time heals all wounds?
