Mano de metate is a multi-format essay that reaffirms Bruno Varela's fascination with the realm of memory. The plot, if it were necessary to define it, would be as follows: A girl is marked by an image, an image that haunts and torments her; that memory is also an omen, past and future, but also a dream. This is a clear reference to Chris Marker's exceptional La jetée (The Pier).
