SYNOPSIS After 20 years, Elsa and her younger sister, Maura, return to the house where they were raised. Carmen, the third sister, lives there alone and maintains the family's meagre estates. Maura's degenerative disease continues unabated, while Elsa and Carmen try to finally settle the division of their parents' inheritance. Between almond harvests and never-ending arguments, old conflicts surface and seem to awaken a long dormant volcano.

Macu Machín Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. She has an extensive career as a director of short films. Her evolution as a filmmaker has taken her from observational cinema, Geometría de invierno, to found footage, Quemar las naves, with a constant desire to capture both, the real and the transcendent as in El mar inmóvil. Now, in collaboration with El Viaje Films, she takes on La hojarasca, her first feature film, which focuses on the unique universe of her own family and the lands they inhabit. FILMOGRAPHY Quemar las naves (short film, 2018), El mar inmóvil (short film, 2017), El imperio de la luz (short film, 2016)
