Isra and Cheito are two brothers who have taken different life paths. When Isra is released from prison, and Cheito finishes his tour of duty in the Navy, they both return to their hometown on the island of San Fernando. Together they recall the violent death of their father when they were children. The need to take back their lives and reconcile with each other will reunite them.
Twelve years after the documentary The Legend of Time, Isaki Lacuesta rediscovers his subjects in Entre dos aguas, a documentary acclaimed by critics and audiences which, once again, delves into some of his recurring themes: identity, relationship with oneself and with the world, guilt and redemption under the passage of time. All this, also as usual, with a story where reality and fiction seem to merge and feed off each other.

As the 10 + 1 program end, L'Atlàntida presents the premiere of 8, 9 and 10 by Raül Refree and Isaki Lacuesta, a show that combines music and live images and it forms part of the exhibition Trilogy of hidden reality by Isaki Lacuesta. Activity linked with the 10th Aniversary of ACVic Center d'Arts Contemporànies.
Music and image dialogue in real time and find new spaces and new languages.
Isaki Lacuesta and Raül Refree have been developing a very personal work for many years, together and separately, which contains a profound learning and a deep respect for tradition. In recent years they have worked on various films and audiovisual works, and have produced art installations for museums. Together they also enjoy doing live performances from time to time in which music and image interact in real time and find new spaces, new languages to expand their relationship. In Vic, they will perform live once more: Isaki will manipulate images prepared for the occasion, images that will interact with the timbres and compositions that Raül performs on stage.
A constantly evolving artistic relationship that is nourished by moments such as the performance that the audience will see live on the stage of L’Atlàntida.
In a time of outrageous search for novelty, when it seems as if anything goes as long as it remains new, a glance at old traditions has arisen from below the water line like a nuclear submarine to highlight the beauty and sincerity of what we believed had been forgotten. Vernacular forms, the beauty of the imperfections of people and of nature, emotion before technique, the value of geography, and looking at the wisdom of the past; all these create a brilliant and incomparable springboard that pushes a new present towards research which is committed to and integrated with the environment. Because what we hear, what we look at, or what we feel has a direct impact on the time and future we will have.
Isaki Lacuesta. He is one of the country’s most internationally recognised film directors.
He has written and directed nine feature films, the last of which, Entre dos aguas, won him his second Concha de Oro at the San Sebastian International Film Festival, and the awards for best film and best actor at the Mar de Plata Festival de Cine, as well as seven Gaudí awards, including the best film in a non-Catalan language and the best director.
In 2018, the Georges Pompidou Center in Paris dedicated a full retrospective to his work, as well as the book Le cinéma d’Isaki Lacuesta (Brice Castañón and Sergi Ramos, ed).
His films have been screened at festivals around the world, and at art centres such as the MOMA in New York, the Lincoln Center, the Anthology Film Archives (New York), and the CCCB in Barcelona.
Among other awards in his career, he has received the National Film Award of the Generalitat de Catalunya (2012), the Sant Jordi Award (2002, 2017) and the Eloy de la Iglesia Award (2010, Malaga Film Festival).
Raül Refree. He is one of the most acclaimed European producers of the last decade. He produces alongside experimenters like Sonic Youth's Lee Ranaldo while revising Amália Rodrigues' fados alongside the singer Lina. He has worked with innovative artists such as Rosalía and El Niño de Elche, and along with them, he has constructed the avant-garde of the “new flamenco”. But Raül's musical life does not stop here. He is also a prominent composer and musician who has released nine albums in his most personal project, Refree; he has composed acclaimed film soundtracks, and has an overflowing discography of projects uncorseted by the restraints of genre. Raül only understands music as an exercise in liberated creation and research.
