The Stone Raft
George Sluizer / ES, PT, NL, 2002 / 103 min.
Surrealist film by George Sluizer (Spoorloos) in which an earthquake causes the Iberian Peninsula to separate from the European mainland. A small group of people who felt the advance warnings of the disaster decides to travel to the chasm that has been caused.

Five strangers become involved in a number of mysterious, supernatural events they are unable to explain: a flock of starlings follows José everywhere; Joana’s walking stick causes tiny fault lines to appear; Joaquim is suddenly able to pick up huge boulders; and Maria finds out that a thread she pulls from a sock has no end. Pedro is the only one to feel a strange vibration – which eventually leads to the Iberian Peninsula separating from the European mainland.
