Notes from a Dromedary
An adolescent on a remote place narrates his story marked by a past in the Sahara being a camel, Pringles fries, the desire for fat women’s bodies, strange drawings, colonizers and reggaeton.

The 19th of September of 2021 the volcanic ridge of Cumbre Vieja, on the island of La Palma started erupting. This eruption lasted until the 13th of December of 2021. Lucía and two other filmmakers decided to travel and register the volcano. This is the journal of the first two days, based on the camera errors and casual conversations that were on the footage: Bad focus, being sleepy, journalists not knowing how to name the eruption, instagram, the crunch of Pringles fries, glutamato monosodico, the radio fluctuating between Prince and Elvis, selfies with the volcano, plans for illegal stuff and the seconds before a final system error.
A heat wave strikes Buenos Aires and Juana has to stay while everyone is on vacation; for her everything seems repetitive and dull, and a pop song about the sea follows her everywhere.
Three rooms, three different moments of a relationship.
A portrait of Buenos Aires done for the Festival Extra at Centre Pompidou
