Eu máis was born out of the grief following the death of someone deeply important to the author: his grandmother. Through the Galician landscape, bodies, and folk songs, Ángel Montero proposes a sensory and fragmentary exploration of the passage of time — an anthropological gaze into a territory scorched by wildfires and inhabited by the memory of care. In this burned landscape, the body of a grandmother intersects with the energy of her great-granddaughter, in a contrast that raises questions about cultural heritage, care, and family.
Folk songs, everyday gestures, and landscape blend with the image of fire as a metaphor for time — a force that destroys, transforms, and at the same time, reveals. At night, horses appear by the river. At first, they seem to represent death, but perhaps they are something else. Perhaps they are simply there — watching, guarding, and accompanying the passage between the shores of life and death.
In their silent presence, a space opens to see the invisible, to touch what has no form, to listen to what cannot be said. Thus, Eu máis is not an elegy, but an invocation: an attempt to understand how absence burns, and what remains when the smoke clears. A journey into the primitive, a question posed to the animals, an attempt to pass through fear and dissolve into the whole in order to reveal what cannot be spoken.
Eu máis has been shown at festivals such as Zinebi, L’Alternativa, Alcine, Curtocircuíto, Cans, Ibizacinefest, Doclisboa, and FIDBA.
