Description

Synopsis:
For generations, the Gardell family have devoted themselves to a life working the land. An unexpected change in the legal conditions of the land they farm gives Tomàs and Maria no choice but to turn their farm into a bed and breakfast, where they patiently wait for guests to arrive.
Can Gardell is a fictional story with real characters; a portrait of a form of rural life that no longer seems to fit our modern times.

About the directors:
After studying film in Buenos Aires, philosophy at Barcelona University and Paris 8, Florencia Aliberti obtained a Master’s Degree in Film Studies and Contemporary Audiovisual at Pompeu Fabra University. She works in the field of documentary and experimental film as a director and editor.
After pursuing Film Directing and Screenwriting studies, Silvia Subirós obtained a Master’s degree in Creative Documentary (ECIB, Barcelona Film School). Her first short, The Age of the Sun (2010), won the Best Short film award at the Alcances Festival in Cádiz and Best Director in the New Authorship category at the Sitges Film Festival (2010).
