SYNOPSIS
Cesc is the singer of a quite popular rock band in his town, where he lives with his mother.
Upon receiving the news of the death of his father, who abandoned them when he was 10 years old, all the pain contained since then becomes stronger than ever.
Cesc will have to decide if he wants to collect the mysterious object that his father has left him, finally having to face his past.
TECHNICAL SHEET
Title: MALVA
Type of Project: Short film
Duration: 19 min.

Genre: Drama
Language: Catalan
Main features and goals of the crowdfunding campaign
MALVA is a short film that deals with the undigested pain that erupts at a given moment due to its accumulation. Our main character's refusal to manage his distress leads him to a deep emotional breakdown, and when he hits rock bottom he will be forced to make a change.
The short film, guided by music, will represent the anxiety that threatens to make the protagonist burst like an overstretched rope.
In order to succeed in placing the viewer in the shoes of the protagonist, we will play with light and music as a reflection of Cesc's senses, the chaos and his confusion.
The idea of the short film began to take shape more than a year ago, where the same team shot a first version of the story in 16mm film. After the experience, we decided to consider shooting it as an ESCAC Final Degree Project, which with time became a reality.
One of our main goals is to be able to film the concert of Cesc's group live in order to capture the euphoria and vitality of the protagonist's rock concerts. The almost documentary nature of these sequences will require key organization in pre-production in order for all departments to achieve the desired result. This will include performance management, lighting, live sound and props, among many others.
Something very important is the composition, recording and mastering of the soundtrack, a part of it in pre-production. The process needs external support given its difficulty and requirements at team level and implementation.
Given the fact that the story takes place at the end of the 90s in Barcelona, will need the necessary resources to make an adequate representation of the era, giving it its own style at the same time.
With this campaign we hope to have the necessary resources to tell this story in the best possible way. Thanks in advance!

MALVA is the bruises on Cesc's skin, a representation of the pain he has been carrying for years and its consequences. The wound is a stain that spreads and attains even the people Cesc loves the most, causing him to sink deeper and deeper into a profound emotional disorientation.
