IUS del tiempo (2025)

Luca, a young photography, arrives in an Asturian village to develop one of his artistic projects and explore his own roots. He stays at the home of Xuan, a veteran cheesemaker who rents part of his house to supplement the meager income from his artisanal work. Luca is met with Xuan's innate brusqueness, a facade that the young man soon discovers is tied to a past shadowed by old rumors and sexual prejudices. As Luca’s camera captures the intricate details of Xuan's hands at work, he awakens in Xuan a passion for life long thought lost, prompting the older man to reflect on cherished memories and connections. Gradually, Luca uncovers a universe distinct from his own, as he confronts the complexities of identity and heritage. Through shared gazes and unspoken histories, they find unexpected connections in lives that initially seemed worlds apart. As their bond deepens, they encounter the delicate interplay of life and death, illuminating the invisible threads that unite us all.
