«Я уже прожил свою жизнь, осталось лишь снять о ней фильм», - так сказал Эктор Бабенко Барбаре Пас, когда понял, что времени ему осталось немного. Она согласилась исполнить последнюю волю своего партнёра и снять фильм о его смерти, где он выступит в главной роли. Бабенко сознательно обнажает перед зрителем душу, не стесняясь интимных и неприятных ситуаций. Он высказывает свои страхи и опасения, делится воспоминаниями, мыслями, фантазиями. Противостояние интеллектуальной мощи и физической хрупкости всю жизнь оставалась отличительной чертой его карьеры.

'Olmo and the Seagull' is a poetic and existential dive into an actress's mind during the nine months of her pregnancy as she must confront her most fiery inner demons while trying to rewrite a new philosophy of life, identity and love. Underlying this hybrid film is mounting tension over what is real and what is enacted when one is performing one's own life.
