Special Presentation (In-Theater)

In-theater screening includes a pre-recorded conversation with Pedro Almodóvar as he accepts a Precious Gem Master Award from the 38th Miami Film Festival.

A woman watches time passing next to the suitcases of her ex-lover (who is supposed to come pick them up, but never arrives) and a restless dog who doesn't understand that his master has abandoned him.

Shortlisted for the Oscars 2021 in the Live Action Short Film category.
