Nuestra piel levantada
Spain / 70'
Plot
"A male body, lying face down, gravitates in a black room. He is naked, has no defined face, and his skin is translucent. His stomach begins to stretch endlessly into a black abyss. I hear his skin stretching without ever breaking. I hear the orange fat overflowing and flooding the whole room." The film questions our emotional upbringing and how it shapes our perception of our bodies, and even our roles and fears as male beings in the context of patriarchal masculinity.

Sandra del Moral Abolafia (Jaén, 2001), Paolo Natale (Lorca, 1997) and Daniel Rodríguez (Ourense, 1996) are three filmmakers recently graduated from the ECAM, where they specialized in Documentary Film within the same promotion. The joint journey began with the piece Configuración de un Umbral, the result of months of collective creative process, exploring common concerns of the filmography of each of the three. The hybridization of cinematographic codes, sensory narratives that aim to fully engage the viewer, cinema without actors... the film is born from these intentions and more. It is born from the context of young people in a big city far from the local environment that characterizes their native homes. It is born from feeling small in an overcrowded and dehumanized place, from fantasizing about the birth of a new place and a new way of life, invisible and alien, eternally fleeing from the city as an ever-expanding monster.
