El Cielo gira

At La Aldea, in the Soria hills of northern Spain, only 14 villagers remain. Mercedes was the last baby to be born in the village. Accompanied by a painter, who tries to capture light and mist, she discovers numerous traces of history. On the hills, dinosaurs once walked, the Celtibers built farms, the Romans their villas and the Saracens a castle with a tower. The last inhabitants know all the stories and can tell all the legends. Little by little, the present has invaded the landscape: the castle will be converted into a luxury hotel, a hill ridge is spiked with wind farms. On television, news of a distant war rekindle memories of another… a civil war. An election campaign flits on and off the screen. Is the next step a trip to Mars? The painter, who is slowly going blind, begins a new painting.
