Like a notebook on the filmmaker's stay at the Eslava guesthouse in the old quarter of Pamplona, these notes of the ephemeral are filmed as one lives: without turning back, assuming mistakes, looking at fleeting lives that come and go, like notes on the inexorable passage of time.
It rains. The millstone continues to turn in the mill, tireless. Winter is coming to an end. In the abandoned village, spring plays its way through the fog. Life and death in a land anchored to the sea and the fog, where the past is as present as the future.

Villa 31. Buenos Aires is about life in its most physical sense, the life that, despite everything, beats unstoppably in every corner of the planet. It speaks of happiness, suffering, and the learning of both, and takes place, perhaps by chance, in one of the various shantytowns of Buenos Aires:...
