Burning Mountains That Spew Flame

Imagina 2017 / Montañas arditens que vomitan fuego / Spain 2016

The black rock of a volcanic island hides the murky depths of a cave complex. The enchanting magic of the place exists out of time and geographical location, yet the heart of the island quietly whispers a testimony of local history and mythology.

Synopsis

Out in the open, on a mysterious volcanic island, a goatherd is tending his flock. The island’s black rock, however, hides the murky depths of a cave complex, as well as shafts that formed in the course of volcanic activity. In these bowels of the earth, which served as a refuge for the resistance during the war but still welcome any lost soul, time has stopped. The enchanting magic of the place exists out of time and geographical location, yet the heart of the island quietly whispers a testimony of local history and mythology.
