The Lands of Heaven
One night. One city. Madrid. Five conversations. Nine characters.

“It’s a film made of images. It’s a film made of words. Of words that create images. It’s a film about people who tell a movie and who, in doing so, reinvent the film. It’s a film about people who tell a movie and who, in doing so, also tell about themselves, who they are, who they would like to be, who they will be. It’s a night film, and it’s a Madrid film in which Madrid is barely visible. It’s a film about actresses and actors who talk a lot and yet always withhold something. It’s a film made for the viewers and, simultaneously, with the viewers, for their imagination, and to awaken in them the desire to share. The desire to tell.”
