Synopsis

Joana, a 7 years old girl, lives in a little village by the mediterranean shore, where her family owns an antique shop. The shop is a big warehouse, full of objects and items spread around, all dusty, and forgotten. It’s a beautiful place and unique. Joana spends her days playing in the warehouse and helping out her grandfather in the garden, while her mother recovers from a serious illness. But soon she will need to accept that her mother won’t recover. La noche de todas las cosas, the night of everything, is the night, where the experiences become memories, and memories become us.

In Inicia Films we understand that production is a way to influence society and connect emotionally with the audience. Since 2006 we have been working to promote new generations of filmmakers and give them a voice in today’s audiovisual world.

Through the eyes of our creators and the sensitivity of our authors, we accompany the development of international projects and multicultural talent, building bridges between their experiences abroad and their roots. We deal with themes that respond to current concerns and we believe that by connecting people and emotions we can help to draw new narrative and visual horizons.
