Jaime Rosales : 2012
The Dream and the Silence
Oriol and Yolanda are Spaniards living in Paris with their two school-age daughters, Celia and Alba. Oriol is an architect and Yolanda is a teacher. During a holiday at the Ebro River Delta a tragic event occurs that changes their lives. The eldest child dies in a car accident which her father survives, but which completely erases the memory of his daughter. Totally broken, the dialogue between husband and wife will be rebuilt over time and through each of them quietly working on themselves in their own way. By coming back to the roots or by going round in circles, by immersing themselves in nature in the Parisian parks of Luxembourg and Buttes-Chaumont, full of children, the couple gradually find ways to return to life. A mesmerising and deeply moving depiction of loss, grief, all-consuming anger and self-doubt, Jaime Rosales's fourth feature premiered at the Quinzaine des Réalisateurs 2012 at Cannes.
