REVIEWS:

The choreography feels like an extension of Lorca’s poetry—fluid, expressive, and deeply emotional. The way the music and movement intertwine creates something truly hypnotic.

ელენე ჯაფარიძე

A masterful translation of Lorca’s work into a cinematic experience.

Ana Luis

A bold and evocative adaptation of Lorca’s poem

გიორგი წიკლაური

Lorca’s poetry has always been rich with rhythm and emotion, and this film beautifully captures that essence.

Lucia Sanchez Ortiz

There’s something haunting yet incredibly beautiful about this film. The silence of the boy, the movement of the dancers, the way the setting almost breathes alongside them—it all creates an overwhelming sense of longing and mystery.

Álvaro Layouni

I wasn’t sure what to expect, but this film transported me somewhere else. The way the dancers move, the music, and the setting all come together in such a powerful way. Even without words, the emotions hit deep.
