Erreplika

“In 1979 the Virgin of Zikuñaga disappeared, leaving its inhabitants without her iconic image. A gap in the niche. A collective void. This is a film about gaps. My father, the filmmaker Juanmi Gutiérrez, passed away some years ago. Now, from a distance, I return to his films as an exercise in personal memory through the image, or rather, through its absence. ‘Can the lack of an image be as strong as its presence? And in that case, what do we do with this emptiness?’” (P.G.)
