About the Film
Fireworks and a ballet dancer or a roller skater are accidentally superimposed in this beautiful film. Images by chance thank to Double 8 film system. The images, a disappointment for the filmmaker (and his family) at the time, are now a delight to the gaze. The poetry of human mistakes.
Resorts like la Manga del Mar Menor or Cabo de Palos and events like Semana Santa de Cartagena can be recognized in this orphan home movie filmed by a family from the Spanish town of Cartagena. — Salvi Vivancos
