A threat beats in the summer calm: a woman's body seems to be trapped in her own image.
Thus begins Un verano sin pájaros, a film constructed from fragments of the life of a single woman over the course of a decade. The material comes from domestic films shot on super 8 in which she is always the protagonist, observer and observed. The film is an intimate story in which the presence of the female body and its transformations are central.
The dreamlike and experimental nature of the images and sound evoke the presence of other women from different periods whose stories seem to emerge through small gestures of everyday life. To look at oneself is perhaps to look at all of us.
