Synopsis

An empty house in Spain serves as the backdrop for "Espera & Sedimento," directed by Tana Garrido Ruiz. The film presents the lives of three generations of women impacted by the steel industry. It focuses on the relationship between industrialization and domestic life, using an archaeological perspective to examine workers' housing and remnants of past lives. The documentary critiques the 19th-century concept of the 'Angel of the Home' and addresses the need for depatriarchalization of memory within family dynamics.
