Salamanca is, from today until March 30, the setting for the short film 'Marisa', directed by Elvira Rivas Moriñigo. The leading role will be played by Maribel Iglesias from Salamanca and the production will be handled by Lunática Producciones. The capital of Tormes will frame this story which, from drama and comedy, aims to show the invisibility of care in the pension system and desperation turned into strategy.
'Marisa' is a fiction short film that balances social drama and black humor. The work features a 60-year-old woman after a life of job insecurity and suffocating family burdens. Through a biting voice-over and aesthetics that contrast the monotonous routine with the "epicness" of her plan, the work explores how the system pushes individuals to consider personal sacrifice as the only financial way out for their loved ones.
Formally, the work opts for an ironic and dry tone, with a marked visual contrast between the open light of the city and the gloom of a home in crisis, thus reinforcing the tension between the everyday and the tragic.
With this short film, Lunática Producciones continues its creative line focused on contemporary stories with social commentary, combining scenic and audiovisual language.
The director has an extensive resume, both in the field of audiovisual production with short films such as La Contable (2023) and El Huésped (2022), and in theatrical production, with works such as Vida Odorola, El Perro del Hortelano, Viaje en Nube, Mosca y Pulga, Ío, Raquel 2.0, Luna Creciente, El Músico, La Charra y La Chulapa, and CelesTinder.
