"Humedalia" is an autobiographical film about my childhood and the place where I grew up. It highlights images I have unpretentiously recorded during my walks through this place, taken almost from the perspective of the little girl I once was. At a certain point, this place reveals itself on the screen. The film is constructed thanks to the audio from my family’s video archive and several field recordings that elaborate a soundscape which evokes those past emotions. When the ground you walk on is full of memories, the past guides you through its bird's eye view.
