1492. Three men who should have been dead have managed to avoid their fate by taking part in an uncertain journey led by Christopher Columbus. Reaching the Canary Islands, they flee. Meanwhile, in the “Old World”, a woman tries to save her sister by bringing her to a healer. Both journeys attempt to laugh at death. Both journeys are at the mercy of time and History.
With their works, Helena Girón (Compostela, 1988) and Samuel M. Delgado (Tenerife, 1987) show and investigate the relationships between mythology and materialism. Their short films have been shown in several well-known international film festivals, including Toronto International Film Festival, Locarno Film Festival, New York Film Festival, Mar Del Plata, Rotterdam International Film Festival, Curtas Vila do Conde, Ann Arbor and Media City Film Festival as well as art centers. They Carry Death is their first feature film.
