Aurora and the House of Lights
Aurora is 25 years old. She plays frantically in an arcade in order to win a giant teddy bear that costs 3200 tickets. She can’t stop because that would bring her back to reality, to what happened the day before and the reason why she was in the hospital. If she wins the teddy bear, everything will be okay, the wound on her arm will heal and she will be safe. But denial is only the first stage.
Days of the Whale
Cristina and Simon are two young graffiti artists who paint the city that they live in. Their restless spirit leads them to defy a criminal gang when they decide to paint the mural of a whale over a threat written in a wall. The love that unites them, their friendship with other artists at La selva- an old house they use as a refuge- and familiar tensions, come together to tell a story where the powerful strength of youth faces fear, violence and the difficulties of growing up.
