An approach to the search in the creative process and its drifts, through the work of Marta García, who puts in value the small, the detail, manual work and materials as a source of inspiration.

This is exactly the kind of film that gets filed under 'boring documentary' by people who aren't paying attention—Rueda's actually made a formal essay about artistic labor that refuses easy sentiment, letting García's hands and materials speak without the usual voiceover manipulation.
A precisely considered meditation on process and materiality that positions itself in the lineage of structural documentary and artist portraiture—the kind of film that reveals its rigor through restraint, where every formal choice (what to show, what to withhold) becomes argument.
The decision to let García's hands and the texture of her materials carry the entire emotional weight, rather than cutting to her face or overlaying interpretation, is what transforms a three-minute document into something that actually breathes.
