Penelope

With the myth as an engine, Penelope unfolds in an imposing landscape as an elliptical and twilight version of Homer’s Odyssey, as intimate as it is absorbing. Penelope is called Carme and is the dressmaker of a small town in the interior of Catalonia. She has sewn and unstitched the threads of a whole town. It has the character of a hard but heartfelt generation. She waits but in an active and not at all nostalgic way. Ulises, Ramon de la Nissa, returns to town after years of absence. A final journey, the meaning of which, beyond the experience, is the return to a homeland and a way of life that will be extinguished with them.
