Biography
Carla Álvarez (León, 2001) trained in cinematography and production at ESCAC. Bajo el Sol de España, her final degree project, is a comedy that explores the personal experience of living between two worlds that, culturally, tend to repel each other. Leonese by birth and Catalan at heart, she uses humour to reflect on the tension of belonging, roots, and tradition, capturing the beauty of growing up in this contrast.

Carmen, a recently retired woman from León, sets off on a spontaneous trip with her family to the Catalan ‘Golden Coast' after the death of the family matriarch. What starts off as a simple farewell, or so she thinks, turns into a journey back to her roots and a part of herself she’d never really known about. It’s a comedy about family, identity, and the courage it takes to start over, no matter if it’s sooner rather than later, or later rather than sooner.
