• TITLE ATLAS OCULTO
• LOGLINE The hidden history of the submerged villages of Spain, where the past emerges from the water and the collective memory is revived.
• FORMATO Feature film
• GENRE Documentary
• SYNOPSIS In Spain, many villages were submerged in the lakes of the hydraulic dams after the war, a massive phenomenon like in no other country in Europe. Atlas Oculto is a film that explores the imaginary of this water town, erased from all maps and collective memory. Wandering between various places and various worlds, the past and the present, the people of yesteryear and what remains of them today. In this film I am the one who reveals the Hidden Atlas by walking through the transformed spaces, and who gathers the memory of the scattered inhabitants in a symbolic place that will be created: a mud village.
