ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
In Objetos perdidos (Lost and Found), Karla Su?rez turns Giselle's story into an exciting search for the place that a woman occupies in our time, as well as for the creative and destructive capacity hidden by passions.
Giselle has sacrificed everything for a dream: to be a dancer. A dream that seems to escape him. A bitter argument with her boyfriend and the theft of her purse, in which along with her documentation and phone also disappear objects that have a great sentimental value for her, leave her alone and lost in the city of Barcelona, far from her native Cuba. His only hope to get out of that situation is to find a Cuban friend who he only knows lives somewhere near the Sagrada Familia. For three days, Giselle sleeps on the street and wanders around the basilica looking for a way to get her life back, while she reconstructs her own family history and takes stock of the price she has had to pay for that elusive dream.
