Overview

The film uses, almost exclusively, unfinished materials by the Granada-born filmmaker José Val del Omar (1904-1982). This is a free approach to the missing link with which Val del Omar intended to culminate his work, made up of what he described as abstract documentaries, cinematographies or elementals. The elemental is a resoundingly poetic declension of the documentary. After the elementals of water (Granada), fire (Castile) and earth (Galicia) that make up his Elemental Triptych of Spain, Val del Omar intended to add a fourth film as the vertex and vortex of his entire oeuvre. New images of Granada - the counterpoint of the Arabic-Andalusian culture that Val del Omar felt in his veins with the hurried gaze of the tourist hordes (wandering between the closed paradise of the Alhambra and the open gardens of the Generalife) - give way to the dynamic ecstasy, progressively abstract and full of images, of a time without a clock, without space, without feet or ground?
