With Guests In Finnish Artists On Art On the Road Matter of Mind Religion
Screenings:
Two old friends find themselves at the crossroads in their life: composer Ignacio’s daughter lies in a coma after a car accident, and painter Comaz’s hand model has resigned from her role as his muse. The artists' journey leads them to the wine region of La Rioja, in search of the curious modernist religious paintings of Vicente Ameztoy.
As the fireplace glows and wine glasses are filled one after another, the friends wrestle with their emotions, challenging one another along the way. This pilgrimage blossoms into a sensitive and captivating atmosphere — one that surprises with its delicate humor and warms with its comforting humanity.
