There is nothing in Spanish contemporary cinema like THEY WILL BE DUST, Carlos Marques-Marcet's fourth film. With its innovative fusion of cinema, dance, music, and design, They Will Be Dust becomes a sensory experience that transcends traditional storytelling.
Marques-Marcet proposes to us to celebrate life and the infinite power of love with arguably the most original and formally audacious Spanish independent film of the year.
When Claudia, a vibrant septuagenarian, is diagnosed with an incurable illness, she decides to end her days in a clinic in Switzerland. Flavio, her inseparable husband of over 40 years, feels unable to face life without her. Meanwhile, their daughter Violeta becomes a mediator between them while trying to clarify her own thoughts. The three embark on a fascinating and profound journey of love and self-discovery.
