Cinema for the Dead

Jorge is 70 years old and is one of the most capricious and dedicated janitors at the Paradise Motel, except for a single detail: He secretly records the audios of the room’s guests. Selling these audios to Alberto earns him an extra income as well as affection, even though Jorge no longer remembers what his own pleasure sounds like.

I recorded four years of the life of a great friend of mine in the attempt to catch some sort of catharsis. As I tried to deal with endings that were taking place in my life, the inevitable happened to him. His mother passed away without leaving any record on video. This is a movie to refrain from the fear of forgetting.
