EL JARDÍN DE LOS ESPEJOS
Three woman, three eras, one place. Despite the time that separates them, Inés, Amalia and Elisa are destined to meet in the mirror that reflects a legendary landscape, the valley inhabited by ghosts, witches and druids, the magnetic mountain with its painted caves, the waters next to the River Pas and a house they call The German's Garden. In real life, Inés travels to Cantabria in search of a cursed filmmaker who disappeared years ago, a mystery related to her own secrets. In 1949 Amalia arrives in the same place to escape the dark shadows of herself and her desire. And in 1919, Elisa waits for the return of a man lost in the Great War. She is the wife of the German. A photograph, a painting and some sketched pictures that seem to have a life of their own reveal a breach in time, and whoever goes through it will be able to beat the darkness and oblivion.
