Last Days of Spring (Feature Film): In a shanty town near Madrid, a group of squatters are forced to leave their self-built homes when the land they live on is sold. While this process slowly unfolds, the different members of the Spanish Gabarre Mendoza family struggle, each in their own way, with their newly uprooted lives.


Every Day's Like This (Short Film): A family tries to schedule the medically assisted death of a loved one.


About the Pairing:

In a time of intense family crisis, uncertainty, and loss, interpersonal dynamics either take shape into a strong support safety net, or become a set of trees through which it becomes difficult to see the forest. These films each deal similarly with this question from within two very different situations.
