description About

Manuel decides it´s time to find his half-brother; someone he once heard about as a child but who, like his late father´s memory, was buried and faded away. But finding him will only be an excuse to achieve his true purpose: to understand his impossibility to openly and truthfully talk about fatherhood: the one he didn't have as a child, that was taken up by a lonely mother, self assumed by him, and reshaped by his siblings while growing up. The Living and the Dead is a film about love, honesty and forgiveness in a family where the living ones will have to resort to the dead to find the answers about who they really are.
