    • Synopsis
    • At 88 years old, my grandfather Fernando proposes that we make a film together, the day I tell him I'm leaving his house, where we lived together for more than 20 years. He faces the challenge of learning how to use a camera, and I accompany him with mine, with a common purpose: to make our film. What begins as a way for me to fight the guilt of abandoning him, becomes the place where we really get to know each other. “Ese soplo” is an intimate record about intergenerational bonds, in search of understanding what it means to be alive.
