AWARDS: "Best Short Film"- Gijon International Film Festival(2020)

LOGLINE
An honest collage of internal and external stories centered around family and home, documented with a phone during the first coronavirus lockdown.
SYNOPSIS
The day-to-day life in quarantine is placed under the "loupe" and the boundaries of private life are distorted, resulting in a cluster of uncomfortable, candid or amusing situations, filmed mostly on a phone. An ode is paid to the house as the longest witness of the family, a reflection on the past, a place of fight and love,  of fear and security.
