- Synopsis
- Language and landscape as a gate into a new life. A young Galician filmmaker emigrates to Sweden, where he performs different part-time jobs. His learning of a new language and fascination for the Swedish landscape become a driving force against the difficult life conditions. As he learns about Swedish culture, society and lifestyle, he develops a new identity.
Evoking Jonas Mekas might not be innapropiate to introduce this personal filmed diary, especially in regard to the richness of the situations and the delicate and visually graceful approach. Having in mind the historical perspective of his grandparent's emigration, Domínguez Serén's core focus - and the one underlying today's human migration - is undoubtedly the acquisition of a new language, which allows to develop a deep relationship with both a new landscape and a different human culture. Filmed over several years, the filmmaker manages, with a very accurate editing, to capture this long process, which starts with silent solitary thoughts and evolves into communication.- Awards
