In one of the last rural schools on the border between Galicia and Portugal, Mariana, a four-year-old girl, discovers the world through the stories and legends told by her teacher. As Mariana grows, these tales and the passage of time shape her view of the world, until at eighteen, she faces a crucial decision: to leave her village or remain in this borderland by her mother’s side.
Looking at a place again so that it remains new. Is it possible to understand the immutability of a time that never stops moving forward? Gods of Stone is undoubtedly a cinematic gem in which the time and space of the frontier are challenged through the tireless metamorphosis of images that never stop searching. Legends, myths and memories intertwine in the echoes of ancient voices. And yet it’s all a story. A reflection of the passage of existence. (Miquel Escudero Diéguez)
