      Synopsis

      The photonovel of a breakup.

      The stupidest way of saying goodbye? Not saying goodbye. This film justly arranges its own contradictions. It brings steady images to life, and uses movement to film the vacuum. On the present's background, a man caresses his past, the memories of an agitated life that has never been frozen. Does the rotation of these steady images from the past explain through its movement the inevitable outcome of the couple? Or is it the breakup that drives this man to lock his couple in a circle? And even though Una forma estúpida… makes one believe in a chronology of its events, it becomes evident that the end is the beginning. It's impossible to talk about this film without going around in circles.
