I Gave You Eyes and You Looked Toward Darkness

"I Gave You Eyes and You Looked Toward Darkness" unfolds in the haunting Guilleries mountains of Catalonia, centering around an ancient woman on her deathbed in the farmhouse Mas Clavell. As family and caretakers gather, the spirits of women who once lived there prepare for her arrival with an otherworldly celebration, unleashing four centuries of intertwining tales filled with laughter, feasts, and deep emotional echoes. The narrative, led by Joana, the matriarch, explores themes of desire, sacrifice, and consequence after her fateful pact with the devil. Irene Solà masterfully weaves elements of oral tradition and folklore, blurring the boundaries between life and death, past and present.
