Documentary «The Dream of Serranía de Ronda».»

If the book «The Dream of the Serranía de Ronda» is the how it was made company Dehesa Monteros, the documentary short film produced by Narita Estudio could be the how it was made the book that compiles the whole story.

An audiovisual adventure in which Narita's production collects first hand the experiences lived by those who were fortunate enough to approach the Genal Valley on a tour of the pastures where the Iberian pigs of Dehesa Monteros are raised; through the streets of Pujerra, the village where it all began; meeting its people; traveling through the landscapes of Serranía de Ronda; following the daily life of a family dedicated to their passion and ending up gathered in Bardal, Benito's house in Ronda, in a memorable end of the festival.

An experience peppered with the masterful guidance of Chelo Gámez, surrounded by her family, without a script or filters, with the truth and honesty of naturally occurring scenes, spontaneous testimonies and reflections born in the depths of the heart. In this documentary piece, the technique has been able to approach this reality as never before to convey it to us in all its purity.

The technique of adapting to the soil

In Dehesa Monteros, the camera observes with precision a complex ecosystem: the land, the animal... and the man. The naturalistic photography frames the controlled beauty of the landscape, while revealing the contrast with the imperfection of the human gesture: uneven rhythm, sharp decisions.

The sound captures the everyday chaos (orders, friction) and merges it with the natural environment, creating a raw and honest sound texture. The montage navigates between the calm of the environment and the tension of the work, without make-up or repetition.

It is a portrait, yes, a deep portrait. Because in the precision of the field there is also noise, contradiction... life.

The look that completes the experience

The documentary directed by Mateo García, founder and CEO of Narita Estudio, perfectly complements the reading of the book «The Serranía de Ronda Dream», expands and enriches the experience, and opens a new window from which to contemplate a legacy that is changing Serranía de Ronda and the lives of all those who come to participate in it.
