Los Muertos

Vargas has been released after serving a long prison sentence and wants to find his daughter, who is now an adult and lives along the river. As he travels through a forest to find her, his voyage is interspersed with everyday events: eating an ice cream, buying a present, paying a visit to a prostitute. His path is permeated by the mystery that emanates from the nature surrounding him, by the inscrutable faces of the people who live on the banks of the river.

"His search for his daughter becomes his sole objective. It's an excuse to find the one family tie he still has. He doesn't know if he'll be accepted, even I don't know, nor do I care to find out. It's a good excuse for following that path and to let the spectator see how he interprets the world. The movie camera is at its service in this. Whether or not he finds his daughter isn't important, I was interested more in telling about the places where all those people go […]. I don't think there's any reason to raise your voice or stress the meaning, I want it to be open. Many people might see the film as just the story of a voyage, but that's all right with me." (L. Alonso)
