Subject:

Gramma is a reflection on solitude and creativity; an allegory of man's reificative impulse. This human impulse to substitute indeterminate nature with the product of his need for representation. Here the closed system and artificial world of a film made with puppets acts as a parabola of reality. A film whose story resides in its own grammatical structure.

Synopsis:

Gramma is a puppet of iron, wood and bolts. He lives among bizzare fauna in a deserted, sterile and arid world beneath a cloudless sky. In this desolate land, signs and traces of a long lost civilization have survived. Even the astronomical configuration of this environment seems to have beendisturbed: the night begins when the moon covers the sun and ends whenit departs. Every evening, when the eclipse creates a tempest of lethal and unatural light, Gramma darts home seeking refuge.There he waits, in his laboratory, for the cataclysm to pass and the night to arrive, finally to proceed in the creation of his projects.
