Los Bengalas

Spain2019fiction21'Konkurs krótkometrażowy (2020)

The backlands of sunny Spain and an old-school band in its annual tour of festivals in small villages and towns. Shiny jackets and catchy songs. Friends who have known one another for years and have been through a lot are having the time of their lives. This tour, however, is different. The lyrics become lost, thoughts follow unknown trails, time and places are gone. Cheerful despite all odds, "Orquesta Los Bengalas" is a story about love and friendship in the face of an irreversible change. The director breaks the mould of the stereotypical approach to Alzheimer and dementia in cinematography and whisks us off on a journey towards the last great concert of life.
