A film with a logic, beauty and humour all of its own. Finisterrae tells the story of two ghosts who, tired of wandering through limbo, decide to take the Way of Saint James, to the end of the world so that once there, they may begin a new fleeting, earthly stage in the land of the living. An introspective journey through dreamlike and unwelcoming lands in which they will come across extraordinary characters. The two must confront unexpected situations, battle with their own fears and struggle with the obstacles of their own ghostly condition.
About the Director
Sergio Caballero is co-director of the famous SONAR Festival in Barcelona for ’Advanced Music and Multimedia Art’, where he is responsible for the visual side. His first full-length film also emerged from that side. Only later was the scenario created. A major source of inspiration for Finisterrae is Philippe Garrel’s classic The Inner Scar (1972). The fact that this road movie with its haughty tones and subject is so amusing is partly thanks to the maker’s captivating, unique sense of humour.
