Director
Inspired by the visit in Bordeaux of the German poet Friedrich Hölderlin, A Minor Life is the story of a young writer seeking for recognition. He came to Bordeaux to teach the children of a Bordeaux-based family Arabic, but his aspirations become confused when he makes a strange discovery on the river bank. Under the distant eye of a mysterious and secluded man, the character gets lost in a series of peculiar and alienating visions. He goes on a poetic and existential quest that systematically leads him to the Garonne waters, until submersion.
(voice)
On a feverish night, a child senses a ghost, a woman who has come from the sea, coming home after a long political exile. A silent tale, a bodyless voice and visions mingle in the dark of the night and the fever. The child of the present and the political refugee coming home are now one, traveling together to a strange building, appearing to be her lost memories. Forgotten political fights appear and disappear with the fever's hallucinations. Then, new fights, the Arab spring of Morocco, flood the past.

A group of friends share a cinematographical experience in a particular region of Spain, Galicia. The goal is simple: to film what they like, without preconceived ideas about what should be filmed. They want their images to reflect the feelings that unite them with the people they find along the way.
