Partir
2011
Documentary, 19’
Through a visual letter to an absent person, I rebuild the image of Víctor, my father who died in El Salvador fighting as a soldier of the FMLN. The Military training, my parent’s wedding, the departure of Víctor, the memories of his friends, the endless waiting of my grandmother, are some of the elements that help me to visualize a man I’ve never been able to know yet.
