“In Alex Reynolds’ film we see two hands belonging to two different people peeling the same orange. They are Alma and Nilo, friends, companions, and protagonists of other films and other vital passages in Alex’s life. Other genealogical lines, tasked with rewriting what the present holds as a seed, to discover that the everyday — an orange being peeled in the kitchen — is pregnant with possibility, with sweetness and with violence, and that in the dance that constitutes our interaction with the world, we can edit the inherited text and choose each time where, of whom, alongside whom, and when the present moment is born, and the next one, and thus, with it, memory.” (excerpt from A sponge, a text by Javi Cruz)
