Contigo, contigo, y sin mí

Documentary that portrays twenty years of the director's life through the four relationships that marked her life.

Amaya Villar Navascués has filmed the four love relationships that marked her path. In the documentary she covers the last 20 years, from her first fall in love when she was 18, to her current age of 38. Faced with the desire to be a mother, she writes an audiovisual letter to her future children. She thus takes us on a journey into her past that reveals the phases of love, the challenge of long-distance relationships and the clash between illusions and frustrations or guilt.

This feature film combines documentary and animation, the real and intimate, with the expressive. It can be a personal and intimate approach, from which to observe the evolution of the protagonist. The film can also be read from an anthropological or political prism, reflecting the changing role of women in intimate relationships.

The author previously participated in the script of Rosa Bernad's documentary, 'Monumental', released in 2020. It tells the story of seven people diagnosed with serious and long-lasting mental illness. Through the theater workshop in which they are, the photographic portraits that one of them decides to take, the relationships that little by little are established between them, their confessions, dreams and concerns.
