1492. Among the crew captained by Christopher Columbus travel three men who should have been dead by now. They have managed to avoid their sad fate by participating in this uncertain journey. When they reach the Canary Islands, they flee, taking one of the ship’s sails with them. Meanwhile, in the “Old World”, a woman tries to save her dying sister by bringing her to a healer. Both of these journeys attempt to laugh at death. Both journeys are at the mercy of history.

According to Girón and Delgado, “In the film, we develop an idea that Silvia Federici previously wrote about in her essay Caliban and the Witch, in which she talked about the fact that the riches obtained during colonisation enabled the funding of the whole repressive apparatus of the Inquisition, and the mercenaries and the armies that would successfully stamp out the peasant uprisings that occurred in Europe at the end of the 15th century and during the 16th century.” The duo’s work investigates the relationships between mythology and materialism, and has already been shown at many well-known international film festivals, including Locarno and Toronto.

The movie is a co-production between Filmika Galaika (Endless Night [+lire aussi :
