La Muraille
The Other World
A feature documentary by Callisto Mc Nulty
In south-eastern Spain, a great wall separates worlds. A healthy world, and one deemed sick, contagious. Fontilles sanatorium has been a sanctuary for those afflicted with leprosy. The filmmaker travels along and across this wall and encounters witnesses of the past and the present : the last residents, workers, a Franciscan sister, neighbours, and the landscape. Together, they embody fragments of its memory and become storytellers of a vanishing world
