Soledad #5

"Soledad" is a very common female name in Spanish; it also means solitude. Soledad is the story of a specter who lives in isolation in nature but feels the desire to be with someone. The short film explores the theme of disconnection. It can be interpreted as a metaphor for someone living in a foreign country, for autism and the challenges of communication, or more broadly, it reflects on the human need to connect and the difficulties some individuals face in doing so. Ironically we feel alone in a hyperconnected society.

Soledad was selected by OpenAI as part of Sora Selects screening in the Metrograph Movie Theater in New York in February 2025.
