To See a Woman
To See a Woman, "Ver a una mujer"
A girl meets a girl, they cross their glance and everything changes. Suddenly you are dazzled, you are full of the other, you feel with intensity of every single second that is vanishing. From the uncertainty, being vulnerable, you seek persistently every trace of reality. Mònica, a thirty-something filmmaker, tries to share what emerges in the attempt of seeing her first (female) lover, Sarai, while she is trying to find the mystery of the eyes that fascinated her.
„To See a Woman“ is a discarnated, emotional chronicle of an intense relationship, far from conventional love stories of cinema. A film made by spare moments, fragmented images, highly emotional while confusing instants. A story sewed by inner feelings and frames that carry us to those fragile (while intense) states, the kind of beloved condition that you missed once you don’t have that person close to you anymore.
Mònica Rovira, emerges as a director and protagonist of this intimate story created in an intense process of cinematic writing during last four years. Inspired by masters such as Joaquím Jorda or Viktor Kossakovsky, while erasing the borders between lived fiction and reality filmed, she tries to sail through the images, memories and feelings reflected in the frames, following the free jazz wave through vacuum, euphoria and shadows to bring us a gritty, naked, and straight tale as true as the filmmaker herself.
