One hint, 6 chances, and a new movie to guess every day
German Larissa and her nine-year-old twins arrive at their father’s paternal home in the Spanish Sierra Morena mountains. Father’s flight was delayed, but the guests are welcomed as a matter of course by his mother and sister, who live together. The women’s routine existence, quiet in its remoteness, is interrupted by the children’s energetic presence. As the scorching hot days go by, everyone tries to relate to each other. Is it a language barrier that renders meaningful conversation all but impossible?
"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."
