The Mirror and the Window (IDFA 2021 Trailer)

Official selection IDFA 2021, Envision Competition
Nominated for the IDFA Award for Best Dutch Documentary
A film by Diego Gutiérrez
Two individuals in two different spots in the world ask filmmaker Diego Gutiérrez to film them; his best friend and his mother. They both know they have little time to live. The feeling of the impending end of their lives triggers a journey. A voyage to a place with no trail of human existence, a possible vacuum of colour and sound. While listening to his loved ones, by mirroring in them and by being part of this journey, the filmmaker tries to get close to that which has no explanation. Why are we here? Is it worth? Is it enough?
