O CORPIÑO
BLANCA NAVARRETE, ANTÍA RODEIRO – 2025 / SPAIN (GALICIA)
The Sanctuary of O Corpiño, popularly known as “the sanctuary of exorcisms,” is one of the most visited sites in Galicia (Spain). But what lies beyond this label? Why does it attract thousands of visitors each year? Faith. Tradition. Miracles. Curiosity. Celebration… It all depends on the eyes of the beholder.
MONSTERA

Ana is waiting for her boyfriend Marcos, who is returning home from a long business trip. An absurd argument breaks out between the two when Marcos realises that Ana has neglected her favourite plant: a small and delicate variegated Monstera.
