"A living room. A pen. A kitchen. A stapler. An iron. A cookie. A hair dryer. A funnel. Four posters. A mystery to be solved".

The Movie is an investigation into the power of representation in cinema, through the transformation of the meaning of everyday objects and spaces, as well as the use of signs and cinematographic references. All the objects and spaces used in The Movie represent other objects and spaces, thus creating a new reality.

The entire film was shot in a house and plays with the limits of space, as well as with the physical limitations of the objects that appear in it. The Movie works with the idea of transformation where the "fictional" roles of objects and spaces cease to coincide with "real" spaces and objects. The chimney of the house becomes a building, the table a terrace and the living room a rooftop, projecting in the viewer's mind a chase over the rooftops of a big city. All this is made possible by references to Hollywood film language: through the performativity of the bodies, the choreography, the script, the way of shooting and the editing of image and sound, objects and space change meaning in the mind of the viewer.

The film's script is constructed from cinematic clichés and references. Although the script is somehow created from fragments of many different films, as a whole it is original: a conventional and linear script that tries to make the viewer enter the fiction and forget the tools used (the transformation of space and objects), in the same way as it happens in Hollywood films. This game leads to a new disconcerting reality built from a "gap" or "distance" between the image produced and the image represented. The viewer sees two things at once, two films in one, two overlapping senses.

The Movie is a film created within The Neverstarting Story project.
