In this short film, Poli Marichal, considered one of the pioneers of experimental cinema in Puerto Rico, explores subjectivity from a feminine and feminist perspective. Inspired by Maya Deren's cinema, she creates an inner travelogue about a night spent inside a house in Old San Juan. During this trip/dispossession, the protagonist faces different aspects of her reality as a woman/mother/partner seen through a prism where the real and the dreamlike are inextricably intertwined.
