Tobacco Barns is a production of the Spanish companies La Claqueta PC, Un Capricho de Producciones, La Cruda Realidad and Secaderos La Película AIE and the American company Amplitud. Through images and their symbolic power, it raises questions about the meaning of being and living in a place, about the search for freedom and the possibilities of that freedom, about how we come to become who we are and also the price we pay for it. In doing so, the film manages to speak truthfully about the meaning of identity. The tone of the story is lost when the supernatural element is not well integrated into the story, as a natural part of it, but simply as a forced oddity.ĭespite this weakness, Tobacco Barns manages to be a lucid exercise in recreating sentimental memory, with moments that achieve a certain magic. However, the same fate befalls the director as some of her colleagues: she loses the intention of being "original". As a starting point, the intention to narrate the rural from another place (in this case, from blending with the fantastic) is a bold move. Through this and the credibility of the characters and their performances, the director manages to reflect with sincerity and beauty the conflicting feelings of these two stages of life.Īlthough Mesa's proposal is not overly original, devising a fictional universe through the idiosyncrasy of a place, through the crossover between the supernatural and the real, the extraordinary and the ordinary, is already a trademark of this generation of "ruralised" filmmakers, interesting ideas are nonetheless raised. One of its great virtues comes from the decision to narrate the story from the point of view of both protagonists: from the innocence and fantasies of the child and the bewilderment and uncertainty of the teen.
