Rafaela Prieto

Rafaela, an 80-year-old woman, has a long conversation with her grandson, going over his path from childhood to old age. Now that she has been diagnosed with chronic breast cancer, faith is more present in her life than ever, which coexists with Rafaela's fear of death, and her grandson's fear of dying.

In "El Paréntesis" the author collects the family archive recorded for more than two years to dedicate a filmed letter to Rafaela Prieto, who taught him that a short subway ride can be more than one may think... Short film awarded with the first prize in the XIII edition of the Subtravelling Barcelona-Seoul Film Festival.
