The Trail Left by Time is a film that drifts between fiction and non-fiction, told with stunning sensitivity and a poetic realism reminiscent of the most lyrical and folkloric Carlos Saura. It follows a man who, in what feels like his final breath, recalls an Easter Week from his childhood in the village where he grew up; seven days that shaped the adult he would become. Through an intimate tone and a powerful soundtrack, the film allows its evocative images and music to speak for themselves. It reflects on the essence of a place: the meaning of its customs and beliefs, its rituals around life and death, the delicate balance between individual and collective memory, and the inevitable transience of all that inhabits us.
