Prudencia

Feature fiction | Uruguay · El Salvador · Argentina | In development

A biographical and sensorial drama about Prudencia Ayala, the Salvadoran writer and activist who turned her body, her writing and her public presence into a challenge to the racial, economic and patriarchal order of her time. Through coffee landscapes, Indigenous memory, textiles, domestic work and a journey by mule towards Guatemala, the film follows her path to a presidential candidacy in a country that did not yet recognise women as citizens.

Contra la Marea

Feature documentary | Uruguay | 75 min | Post-production

For more than three decades, Richard Tesore has rescued injured marine animals on Uruguay's Atlantic coast. The film follows the physical intimacy of care - feeding, cleaning, repairing and releasing - while asking why societies depend on people they later struggle to understand.

Series

José Ignacio

Drama series | Uruguay | 6 × 45 min | In development

When the summer ends in José Ignacio, the Uruguayan coast belongs to those who stay: the workers who maintain, guard and inhabit the estates of absent families. After her husband's plane crash, Laia, a Brazilian landscaper married into the De Santis dynasty, is pushed out of her home and her legal identity. Her alliance with Segundo, an estate caretaker, uncovers inheritance, invisible labour, environmental damage and a criminal network hidden beneath the beauty of the coast.

Created by Debora de Sola Habsburg & Juan Pablo Domenech
