En la ciudad de Sylvia

It’s summer and a young foreigner saunters through the streets of a city of street cars and canals. As he walks through the city—observing, writing and drawing‚ with voyeuristic undertones—the nature of his mysterious intentions slowly becomes clear. Trying to glean an insight into a woman he met years ago and for whom he now has only a memory and a first name.

Catherine Wheatley: “In The City of Sylvia follows a young man through the streets of Strasbourg, as he searches for a woman he met some years earlier. Director José Luis Guerin uses the medium’s full potential to craft a hypnotic dreamscape in which ordinary objects and places appear as if anew.”
