SACD Award, Cannes Film Festival 2025
Toni, a 15-year-old Roma boy, lives in Europe’s largest illegal settlement, on Madrid’s out skirts. Proud to belong to his family of scrap dealers, he follows his grandfather everywhere. But demolitions edge closer to their plot, and his grandfather refuses to leave, no matter the sacrifice. On dark nights without electricity, as the legends of his childhood come alive, Toni must choose: face an uncertain future or hold onto a vanishing world.
Born in Madrid, Spain, his works have premiered at Cannes, San Sebastián, IDFA, among other festivals, and have won two Goya awards. His short film ‘Aunque es de Noche’ (2023) premiered in the Festival de Cannes Official Selection, being nominated for the Short Film Palme d’Or, won the Goya for Best Short Fiction Film, and was part of the Official Selection at the César 2025. His first fiction feature film ‘Sleepless City’ (2025) will have its World Premiere in Cannes at La Semaine de la Critique. In 2020, Guillermo received the prestigious Princess of Girona Award for Arts and Literature.
