General information
Lavaux, Belgium.
Two families gather in a countryside house. Alex, 21 years old, realizes she is pregnant while on vacation with her mother and her best friend's family. She doesn't want anyone to find out who the father of her baby is. Slowly, one of the characters discovers who it is and decides to take a drastic decision.
This project is a trilingual drama/thriller in which some characters speak Spanish, French, and others Dutch.
Main features and goals of the crowdfunding campaign
Technical Information:
Genre: Drama/Thriller
Visual Style: Naturalistic
Duration: 20 mins
Setting: Countryside house in Belgium
Language(s): Spanish, French, Dutch
- The viewer will gradually uncover the secret that Alex holds at the same time as one of the characters.
- The story is told visually and sensorially; many things are understood through looks and actions rather than dialogue.
- Things are not told; they are observed.
- In this story, three languages are spoken: the main one being Spanish (the one most spoken by the characters in general).
- The protagonist speaks French with her mother, and a secondary character speaks Dutch.
- One of the main objectives of this project is to distribute it in several countries since it is a trilingual short film.
- We can take this short film to festivals in Spain, Belgium, France, the Netherlands, etc.
- The short film will be shot in October 2024.
Why this is important
In addition to wanting to narrate an intriguing and aesthetically beautiful story showcasing the landscapes of Belgium, the house, and the tranquility that the place conveys, one of the project's objectives is to contrast this cinematic beauty with the story being told; a harsh story that is not narrated with words but with sensations, looks. It is a film that revolves around the "unsaid," the family secrets, which, when they exist, are always known, consciously or unconsciously. Taboos that are so terrifying that they are not wanted to be seen, and when we try to bring them to light, each person reacts their own way.
The vast majority of the team are current and former students of the Barcelona Film School. We have worked on several short films together that are currently in post-production, as well as music videos or commercials.
- This is the second short film project directed by the director (Inés Quijano); the first one is currently undergoing sound and color mastering.
As this is a Belgian-Spanish project, there are two production directors:
-
Elena Irrurizaga, who handles production in Belgium and currently works at 23bis, a Swiss production company
-
Claudia Travieso, the production head in Spain, who has been in the industry for years. She has worked on high-caliber films, with her passion lying in transportation management, particularly in caring for the team and the project.
-
Alba Marco serves as the DIT (Digital Imaging Technician), colorist, and storyboarder for the project, collaborating with the director from the beginning of the scriptwriting stage to the end of post-production. An ECIB Cinematography Direction alumnus, she is currently specializing in color grading.
Social commitment
Creating culture
In addition to wanting to narrate an intriguing story, one of the objectives of this project is to expose cases of sexual violence within a close circle.
