María Garcia Vera

Macià decides to visit Ireland following a route that his parents did 20 years ago. Bruna and María seek a place to escape and disconnect. Their trips intersect in Ardara, Donegal County, where they share the last summer days. A summer that ends abruptly where Europe ends. ARDARA reconstructs their journey through what the people who saw them tell us. The film is the portrait of all three and that of the people who knew them. A story that reflects on the very fact of telling stories.

It was 1994 and I was 13 years old. Her name was María and she was the clerk of my video store. One day I went to return some tapes I found her doing something strange and I got scared. I left the store. The next day I went back but she was gone. The video store had closed forever.
