Vaivén follows three generations of beachgoers from sunrise to sunset in Barcelona - a study of patterns, rhythm, and the natural cadence of a day at the beach. In a nuanced exploration of simple moments and human emotion, the film serves as a sensory portrait told through sound, and movement.

Director’s Statement
The beach has been a cornerstone of my life since I was a kid — in my work, my spirituality, my health, and the way I ground myself. I wanted to make a portrait that felt simple and pure, honouring that relationship while studying how a foreign culture interacted with the same setting. Shooting at a beach that was both familiar and alien all at once felt like the right place to do that. I'd been drawn to Barcelona since visiting a few years ago, so the opportunity presented itself and I jumped on it.
