Chiralia



Santiago Gil : 2013

Summertime. A lake in the forest. Father and son go for a swim. Suddenly, the boy dives under the water and disappears. Has he drowned? The missing child unleashes a shockwave which reverberates from one person to the next. The story departs from its beginning, reawakening memories which may be deceptive. Expanding over time and space, the narrative starts to transform and lose its shared reality with the actual event. In the end nobody knows what really happened – or even if there ever was a child who disappeared. What remains is a feeling of uncertainty that grows out of the unreliable interplay between reality, perception and memory. Santiago Gil's short fiction received a Special Mention in the FGYO-Award Dialogue en perspective at Berlin International Film Festival 2013.
