Babalú
2008, Spanish. Directed by Sofía Velázquez Núñez.
Babalú, by Sofía Velázquez and Carlos Sánchez, portrays the daily life of an elderly, full-time gas delivery man. At night, he picks up an old book, settles into his comfortable armchair, and plays the trumpet as he did when he conducted the orchestra that gives the short film its name. It captures the sadness of witnessing an artist's decline, dictated by necessity. The song he plays on the trumpet seems to weep, like the languid images that make up the video.
