El camíno más largo para volver a casa
The Long Way Home
Joel wakes up with his bedclothes all tumbled. He calls Elvis, his dog, but it doesn't come. He looks for it around the house and finds it motionless, on the verge of death. He calls for help, picks up the huge animal and goes out into the street in search of a solution … perhaps not just for his pet. That's where his erratic and visceral wandering begins. He's furious and tense as he wanders about a faded Barcelona where he will have chance encounters in his desire to return home, to take refuge. (Alfonso Rivera, Cineuropa)
