“One of my favorite parts of the project has been working with Inés González and Juan Martí during the screenwriting process. Many of us who joined the team later on were surprised to discover the reality of rented accounts. It’s a situation that’s largely overlooked, which is why the ghost serves as a recurring motif throughout the short film.” Bárbara Fernández, Co-Director of El Relevo
