[EN] Marina’s face suddenly changed. One day around her thirties her face ceased to be what it was. Who is she now? Through the protagonist's story, the film delves into a playful research around the meaning of the face, emblem of our identity and nerve center of how we connect with others, human or non-human. Can we be somebody beyond our face, beyond our image?

[ES] De un momento a otro, la cara de Marina cambió. Un día alrededor de sus treinta años su rostro dejó de ser lo que era. ¿Quién es Marina ahora? A través de la historia de la protagonista, la película se sumerge en una indagación lúdica sobre el significado del rostro, núcleo de nuestra identidad y de cómo nos encontramos con los otros, ya sean humanos o no humanos. ¿Podemos ser alguien más allá de nuestro rostro, más allá de nuestra imagen?
