Synopsis
Sofía is Argentine and lives in Barcelona. She sets out to make an experimental film that nobody will like in order not to go crazy. She will recreate videos from her childhood and her parents’ wedding while dealing with her job, her mental health, and the difficulties of production. Convincing her former theater classmates to act and produce, she embarks on an absurd and magical adventure where immigration, lack of resources, anxiety, and unexpected encounters intertwine. Little by little, Barcelona stops being a lonely city and becomes a space where magic exists if you open your eyes and start filming.
Director

She trained at the Eliseo Subiela School of Film and Arts in Buenos Aires and completed a Master’s degree in Film Directing and Staging at ECIB in Barcelona, where she has lived since 2021. She develops fiction projects that prioritize directing actors from the writing and creative process, and she explores the manipulation of archival material. She has directed several music videos and the short film Nuestra parte de Buenos Aires, addressing loneliness, immigration, and Argentina’s 2001 crisis; it was selected at SHNIT Worldwide Shortfilmfestival (2024) and the Philadelphia Latino Arts & Film Festival (2025).
