*****

“Por el trabajo de dirección de actores y actrices, desarrollo del guion y puesta en escena de una historia que critica cómo la mercantilización de nuestra sociedad alcanza incluso a la muerte, al rito funerario; una propuesta aderezada con un toque de humor negro”.

ZINEBI 63. Gran Premio del Cine Vasco. Jurado: Anette Dujisin, Eugenia Mumenthaler, Izibeñe Oñederra, David Ribas, Txani Rodríguez.

*****

“Un mundo alienado se materializa en Polvo Somos, de Estibaliz Urresola, en el que un velorio trastocado por las sospechas de la honestidad de la empresa funeraria deviene el perfecto escaparate de un mundo en el que los intereses económicos desnaturalizan y pervierten el orden natural de la vida.”

Manu Yañez (Fotogramas)

DIRECTOR’S NOTE

When my grandfather died, the cost of his funeral hit us like a bucket of cold water, even though the deceased had paid for more than 40 years to the neighborhood insurance company that had been taken over by the funeral home. And on top of that, the coffin seemed too small for him!

Polvo Somos is a critique of the usury of the funeral business, but above all, it is a snapshot of a thawing: that of the relationship between two sisters, marked by the pain generated when we try to enter where we don’t fit, into each other’s expectations, into the disguise we are expected to portray.

For this family journey of car rides, smoke, and ashes, I have had the privilege of having a brilliant cast, led by Jone Laspiur and Goize Blanco, who maintain a pulse of overwhelming truth, supported by the talent of actresses such as Itziar Aizpuru, Klara Badiola, and Patxi Santamaría.

They all ask for a thought for their late grandfather.

For a dignified farewell.
