Synopsis
My original drive to make Aita was to leave a legacy for my son concerning the abandonment of our family house. To build where decadence and lost reigned. Aita was born as a letter-spirited film, made with many real elements that needed to become a fiction. I shot many scenes in which the house guard would find and read real family letters. During the editing process I realized the film was asking me to turn into another direction, and so I ruled out the scenes with the letters. When Luis Miñarro came to me with the idea of including one of the first cuts as a bonus material in the DVD edition, I rescued the original idea of including the letters in the film. I rewrote a fictional letter and introduced into a more austere and essential cut that disregarded all characters except for the Guard and the House. The result was Aita. Carta al hijo, a different version of the film, which I think complements the other one.
