Synopsis
Playa is a synthesis of stock conversations and film crafted on super 8mm and super 35mm, about my own young love. It narrates my relationship in an experimental way to make the viewer re-think the way we build our memories. This film was shot in Barcelona, Mexico City and La Habana. It’s an example of a generation that lives fabricating memories to share, and feels nostalgic for memories adapted from previous generations. Playa is thought as a memory that anyone could make their own dream.
