During the 1950s and 1970s, my father and his two brothers were part of the Edelweiss Speleological Group. In 1956 Edelweiss began exploring Ojo Guareña, one of the largest caves in Europe, in the north of Burgos.
Guided by spelunkers, LIGHT YEARS AWAY is a voyage through the darkness of theatre, a journey where everything that appears on the way surprises, whether organic or inanimate, chronological or anachronistic, visible or invisible.
It is an off-screen film, a faceless documentary, a torch-lit show.
