A summer day in the municipal swimming pool: heat, teenagers, families, couples, dips, beers and sandwiches in the bar. An adolescent medium tries to locate someone by moving a pendulum over a map of Spain. In the midst of the ordinary goings on something extraordinary happens: a boy on the verge of drowning is saved by a person who walks on the water of the pool to get to him. The miracle is accepted naturally by the other bathers and the summer afternoon continues as if nothing had happened.
Chema García Ibarra (Elche, Spain. 1980) has directed El ataque de los robots de Nebulosa-5 (2009), Protopartículas (2010), Misterio (2013) and Uranes (2014), all “home sci-fi” movies made without professional actors, presented and winners of awards at festivals such as Cannes, Berlin, Sundance and BAFICI. Ion de Sosa (Urnieta, Spain. 1981) has directed True Love (2011) and Sueñan los androides (2014), co-written with García Ibarra and Jorge Gil, and was the director of photography on La disco resplandece (Disco Shines, 2016), a short film directed by García Ibarra, who received a special jury mention in San Sebastian’s Zabaltegi-Tabakalera section. Leyenda dorada (The Golden Legend), helmed jointly by both for the first time, competed in the Berlinale Shorts official competition.
