Why watch this film?

German short film, 'Tal día hizo un año' is one of those experimental and artistic productions that divide opinions. On one hand, there are those who find the movie too slow, without much purpose. On the other, there are those who embark on the proposal and travel through the story. And here, in this case, nobody is wrong. After all, director Salka Tiziana plays with static shots and lack of communication between characters to tell the story of a mother who takes her two children to meet their father. It's a strange movie, which can also be called daring and provocative, which never shies away from its artistic expression to walk on regular ground. In short, it's a piece of art in the form of cinema.
