THREE DAYS WITH THE FAMILY / Tres días con la familia, Festival de Malaga 2009

Lea has to go to Girona unexpectedly as her grandfather has recently passed away. There, she will meet up with her family, whom she hasn't seen since she left to go abroad. The death of the patriarch of the Vich i Carbó family is the perfect catalyst to force his descendents to get along.The three days of the wake, the mass and the funeral are full of nostalgia and the grief brought about by death. It is also a good time to put an end to the show of appearances put on by this bourgeoisie in their decline. Lea rebels against this world of hypocrisy, although it clings to her skin like a tailor-made suit.

Léa debe viajar súbitamente a Girona donde su abuelo paterno acaba de fallecer. Allí le espera su familia, a la que prácticamente no ha visto desde que se marchó al extranjero. La muerte del patriarca de los Vich i Carbó es la excusa perfecta para forzar la convivencia entre sus descendientes. Los tres días que dura el velatorio, la misa y el entierro son un buen momento para observar ese juego de apariencias de una burguesía conservadora en la que todos los problemas son evidentes pero nunca explícitos. Léa rechaza este mundo hipócrita que se le adhiere a la piel como un traje hecho a medida.
