Synopsis

The spirit of an old woman hovers in a village in Panama. Her name is Senovia Cerrud. She is an amateur artist who runs the museum of antiquities of all species. After turning her house into a museum full of her writings, works, and imagination, she left her last wish. Leave everything here as it is. And the directors of For Your Peace of Mind Make Your Own Museum search for a way for her and her world to stay for eternity.

Review

In a small town in Panama, a woman named Senobia constantly collects old and broken machines and discarded objects, carefully sorting and placing them in her living space along with the ornaments she crocheted. She passed away at an old age, but her space remained a museum that does not disappear. Based on her hard life itself, Senobia breathed new life into things with a unique, humorous, and creative perspective, and is recalled on the screen by the voices of the women in her neighborhood who lived with her. Senobia has never received a proper art education and never considered herself an artist, but her works of pleasure and necessity are more artistic than any other. As Senobia did, the two directors of this film ask how a work made with pure passion through poetic and experimental directing can have dignity and sublime, and how it can function as a resistance to convention.
