The Water
Writer
It is summer in a small village in south-eastern Spain. A storm threatens to cause the river that runs through it to overflow again. A popular old belief claims that some women are predestined to disappear with each new flood, because they have the “water inside”. A band of young people is trying to overcome the weariness of a summer in the village that smells of death by smoking, dancing, and lusting after each other. In this electric atmosphere that precedes the storm, Ana and José live a love affair until the storm bursts.
D’Agata limite(s)
Self
Franck Landron follows photographer Antoine d'Agata wherever he goes, to the edges of the world, in a discreet presence, camera in hand. He has been doing hours and hours of rushes, patiently, without hurrying or rushing, he wants this film as fair, as honest, and as long as it takes: it lasted six years.

Las vísceras
Director of Photography
A village in southern Spain. On a hot summer afternoon, a woman grabs a rabbit, strokes it, then kills it with her bare hands before skinning it. Her grandchildren witness this rite of death which they will never forget. The streets echo with an ancestral legend which has it that the spirit of a woman with a broken heart prowls at night, so that she will not be forgotten.
