8 Years

8 Years.

8 Years, the last film entirely shot on the island of La Palma before the eruption of the volcano, narrates the reunion of Jose and David. After a year without seeing each other, they decide to meet again in the place where they met the first time. Beyond the desire to fall in love again, or give themselves a second chance, the energy of the place will change their lives forever, in a vital journey that they will never forget.
