M. is 71 years old and Alzheimer’s disease has transformed her mind and body. Her world is full of noises and whispers. Sometimes thoughts come out from her mouth and reveal a disturbed reality. Corteza –Bark- is a short fiction film that describes this woman’s bath routine. Submerged in a bathtub, M. lets her body lie there, while an imposing black woman is in charge of rinsing her, rubbing her...accompany her, and contemplating her. Arms, legs, skin, bones. This is the inventory of a body that consumes itself. A body that inhabits another world and another time.
