Los caballos mueren al amanecer

Ione Atenea, the film's director, starts to live in the house of the deceased García brothers and discovers that their lives remain latent in the objects they left after their death. Among other things, a piano, hundreds of drawings, thousands of photos or a lot of cassettes are useful to draw the characters of 'Los caballos mueren antes del amanecer'. Antonio was a cartoonist for the Bruguera publishing house, Rosita was an opera singer and a pianist. Together and with his brother, Juanito, they made their home a space of creation and fiction from which they escaped from the hard reality of life under the Franco's dictatorship. Between the walls of their home, the Garcías became worldwide classic's movie stars, World War II soldiers, gangsters, astronauts, science fiction heroines, lonely cowboys on an eternal journey to the West... their memory has the history of twentieth century. Many years later, with new habitants, the house continues to be a place where life can be different.

As said above, Ione Atenea is the director of 'Los caballos mueren al amanecer'. Furthermore, she also works in the film's photography and as the screenwriter alongside Diana Toucedo.
