Synopsis
Here is the love story of Sebas and Andrea, first-time university students, in the 1958-1959 academic year. Here is how social class and ideology become insurmountable obstacles? Here is the architecture marking, unnoticed, the dotted line that ends up dictating their emotion.
Director's Biography
León Siminiani is a screenwriter and director. He has explored different formats and genres in eight short films and two feature documentaries halfway between diary films and film essays: MAP (2012) and NOTES FOR A HEIST FILM (2018), both nominated for the Goya in the Best Documentary category. He has also written and directed two documentary TV series for platforms THE ASUNTA CASE (Atresmedia/ Netflix, 2016) and THE ALCASSER MURDERS (Netflix, 2019). In 2022 he releases 800, a new documentary TV series for Netflix about the 17A bombing attacks in Barcelona and Cambrils.
While preparing his third feature film for theaters, in recent years he has been immersed in the slow gestation of two short films THE STILLNESS SYNDROME (2021, Fugas Documenta Madrid Award 2021 and Best Short Alcine 2021) and EMOTIONAL ARCHITECTURE 1959 (to be released in 2022), which mark his return to the territory of the film-essay.
