Don't Leave Me

Laura JOU 2015 Spain Fiction color 14min Spanish DCP
Laura and Luis are two characters mired in a contradiction: Laura wants to win back Luis but she is unwilling to yield in speech to her true feelings, always sounding bitter when talking to him. At the same time, Luis insists on leaving her, but there he is, at home and taking off his jacket... This is a story of a heartbreak in which a woman confuses desire with the need to fill an infinite void.
