2025 · 3m · España
Directed by Marta Ruiz de Viñaspre
Genres: drama, surrealism, thriller
Tones: contemplative, dark, surreal
An audio describer loses her sight, and darkness becomes ambiguous territory for her; trapped by her own perception and driven into a spiral of paranoia, the boundaries between the real and the imagined blur.

The setup looks like disability drama, then Ruiz de Viñaspre yanks the ground out and makes blindness the hinge of a paranoia spiral—it's a genre trap that actually *works*, inverting every expectation about who the describer is supposed to be describing for.
Formally precise in its collapse: the audio description track becomes both tool and unreliable narrator, a mise-en-scène decision that echoes the found-sound experiments of avant-garde cinema while maintaining dramatic coherence.
The decision to let the audio describer's *own voice* become the unreliable instrument—the thing that fails her—is the whole film, and in three minutes and on what looks like a minimal budget, that one inversion does everything.
