Swimming in the Afternoon

Piscina por la tarde

Pablo Llorca

After five years away from Spain, the narrator spends his time wandering the outskirts of Madrid and, along with others, reflecting on what he finds: a city marked by individualism. Through a vertiginous blend of documentary footage and evoked fictional characters, the film slowly transforms our perception of its elements and their materiality. Reality becomes the result of our capacity for narration and sense-making. A great Spanish author, yet not widely known in Portugal, Pablo Llorca comes to Doclisboa with the third instalment of a trilogy about Spain, particularly Madrid.
