Movie
In this experimental short film, a man reflects with the sphere of the world in his hands and, as if he were a visionary, watches the calamities that devastate us. Through him we perceive a critical vision of the world in our era. Wars, catastrophes, destruction and death. Powerless in the face of so much adversity, he evokes the figure of Mahatma Gandhi as a symbolic image of peace: "There is no way to peace, peace is the way."

MovieDrama
Sonia, the daughter of a prominent publisher, is about to fulfill her lifelong dream of marrying Rosendo, a promising writer with homosexual tendencies, who pines for his fiancee far less than he does for the brand new literary award launched by his future father-in-law. The wedding shindig will bring its share of unexpected surprises. This is a film is part of the DOGME 95 Movement, described as follows: 'the goal of the Dogme collective is to purify film-making by refusing expensive and spectacular special effects, post-production modifications and other gimmicks. The emphasis on purity forces the filmmakers to focus on the actual story and on the actors' performances. Given these restrictions the story and the action of DIAS DE BODA ('WEDDING DAYS') seem much more immediate and the lapses in fluidity of the story can be forgiven - to a point.
