‘Africa 815’ -the first feature film by Pilar Monsell- is a piece that explores many questions using an overwhelmingly confessional voice. The film problematizes the personal diaries of the director's father using images and thoughts that bring the past into the present, that unite the now with the possible, and which create a (self-) portrait in search of a paradise that is always over the horizon.
