Tulia finds a suitcase containing a series of mysterious drawings, notes and diagrams. Without knowing how, they appear in her house and from then on her life begins to change, she loses the idea of past and present, of sleep and wakefulness. Tulia has to find an order for the images and prevent the universe from suffering an irreparable change. This film navigates between reality and fiction, between humour and tragedy, to immerse us in the question of time and error.

Sailor's Grave poster
4.0

The horrors of a shipwreck, the bells of aforgotten lighthouse and the coming and going of the tides surround a tale about the sea. 'Sailor’s Grave' is the result of a workshop based on a work method taking its inspiration from the exquisite corpse game, a mechanism of collective creation where the participants manipulate and transform one another's drawings to construct an intuitive, improvised narration.
