Te extraño Perdularia (Miss You Perdularia)

| Where We Live
(Gloria)

In Cuban slang, “perdularia” is a word that is not easy to translate, perhaps it could be understood as a feminine form of “good-for-nothing”. The girls in a school class call each other that. There is something melancholy in the images, and time and again there is talk of those who are no longer here. Manu Zilveti observes the girls, listens to their conversations and finds images that express something physical: of relationships to a specific place and to each other. An image emerges of a farewell to one phase of life and the beginning of something else.
