Paula is a 20-year-old girl who has received comments about her body since she was a child. As she has grown up, these comments, combined with other factors, have caused her to develop an eating disorder. Marcos A. Miró and Ines Socias have decided to tell her story.

Iron Love

A man in green shorts stands ready, an iron and a red blanket in front of him. The man begins to iron the blanket. Shortly afterwards, a woman in a yellow sweater stands there and begins to iron the same blanket. Together they take turns ironing. But despite their efforts, the blanket remains wrinkled, because the creases they are trying to smooth out are the very ones they themselves are causing. What begins as a joint activity soon escalates into a conflict. Conceived as a loop, the film deals with themes such as control, naivety, and the bittersweet hope for renewal, inviting viewers to find parts of themselves in the simplicity of everyday objects.Stillface

This film addresses the emotional absence of parents in a digitalized world. Inspired by Edward Tronick's scientific "still face" experiment, it shows how children are suddenly left alone in shared moments—not physically, but emotionally. Adults disappear behind glass panes, symbolic of smartphone screens, into their own reality, while children desperately seek attention.Kokain im Hackenporsche

63-year-old Uta accompanies her daughter Sara to a business meeting in France. Although it is February, the two women also want to spend a few days vacationing on the Atlantic coast and picnicking on the beach. Uta prefers to ignore the fact that she will probably be unable to work in the future after an accident and will barely be able to pay her rent in Stuttgart with her pension. The Atlantic Ocean is wild, it is windy and cold, and neither of the two women is really enjoying the short trip. Suddenly, they find several packets of cocaine on the beach.99 Sekunden News

Beyond the Shifting Sands
2025
In the film "Beyond The Shifting Sands", the boundaries between the documentary, the real, and the imagined are blurred. Ultimately, it offers no definitive answers but instead positions the viewer on the very threshold where the artists stand: the threshold between what we know and what we are yet to discover. It is there, where the sand becomes memory, the image an indelible trace, and identity a promise renewed with every glance. This is a film about art as a state of life, and the human beings seeing themselves in a sketch that takes shape only to gradually fade away — as if beauty is not drawn to endure, but rather to offer a reminder that everything we seek... may, in fact, reside within the drawing of the sand itself.Opale
