A Jewish-Muslim love story.

2026 · 90 min · Documentary, Animation

A month after the Hamas attack and Israel's bloody retaliation, which marks the beginning of the genocide of Palestinians in Gaza, an Israeli illustrator living in Spain breaks up with her long-term partner, a Spanish filmmaker of Syrian origin. Omar decides to continue working on the film they had been making together, using footage shot in the Middle East and the unfinished drawings left behind by his beloved. A story about religious fanaticism and its absurdities, and a painful dissection of the relationship between two people who wanted to be together despite their cultural differences.

The mouflon, wild sheep with beautiful curved antlers, were brought to the island as an attraction. Nevertheless, they should not be admired but killed – to add variety to the pursuit of game or control the species numbers on the island. One animal becomes separated from the herd – will it manage to survive? Based on real events, the animation combines the symbolic images of the animal’s escape with the drastic photographs documenting the harm done to the species in Tenerife. The atmosphere of fear and anxiety is achieved by means of pulsating music and black and white colours.

After finding the soundtrack of Tararira, the only Argentine surrealist film shot in 1936, lost since then, and starring their great-grand uncles, the Aguilar brothers set out to unravel the family history at the crossroads of the great political events of the 20th century. It is also a story of El Cuarteto Aguilar, a very particular music band, which had an openly lesbian member in the first half of the last century. The discovery of the soundtrack of the lost film leads to a documentary collage that travels through Argentina, Spain and other parts of the world to ask again, one hundred years later, if perhaps the revolution is not also an aesthetic.
