La isla



Dominga Sotomayor & Katarzyna Klimkiewicz : 2014
The Island

A group of people gather for a family reunion in a house on a beautiful, isolated island. They wait for Jaime, who should have arrived earlier that day. But as the evening comes and he doesn't appear, a strange anxiety overwhelms them. The group dismantles and the family members wander away from the house separately, confronting the sea and an unspoken fear that slowly consumes them. A magical, subtle film, the first collaboration between Dominga Sotomayor and Katarzyna Klimkiewicz, who were inspired by a Wisława Szymborska poem and personal memories of youth. Their film was winner of the Tiger Award for Short Films at International Film Festival Rotterdam 2014.
