SYNOPSIS
DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT (extract in spannish)
After the death of his father, Eliecer, an old,
inveterate lonely piper man that lives in a coastal
town, has to take care of his little stepsister,
Esperanza, against his will, while dealing with the
task of taking her to her mother, who left her
when she was a newborn to live in the city.
The journey without money is tough, and it is
even tougher for the mother to take the little girl
in.
Eliecer’s decision leads him to face the possibility
of rediscovering the home and family they both
had lost.
“Las relaciones conflictivas entre padres e hijos son el punto de partida de EL SON DE
ELIECER, y se abordan desde la perspectiva de la responsabilidad como dinamizadora
del conflicto. Dicho conflicto surge en la medida en que la imposibilidad de los padres
por asumir la responsabilidad de sus hijos, rompe la relación de maternidad o paternidad
con estos. […] En esta espiral se ven envueltos nuestros personajes, cuyo camino se va
cerrando inexorablemente para llevarnos ante el escenario del “Abandono” y su
inherente coexistencia con “El Olvido”. […] Abordar esta reflexión es lo que me interesa;
sin embargo, mi intención es acercarme al espectador, dejando planteado el camino del
“nunca es tarde”, el cual asume Eliécer. Por este motivo, encuentro en la paradoja la
forma de traducirlo con un sabor agridulce, y es que a pesar de que Esperanza no
puede ser asumida por su madre, sí lo es por Eliécer, enseñándonos, de paso, algo
bello e irónico sobre la fragilidad de la existencia. […]”
