Aproximación a la soledad emocional en la vejez en tiempos de hiperconectividad, mediante la realización del cortometraje justo a tiempo.

Abstract

This project details the process of creating the short film Justo a tiempo, a dramatic cinematic work that explores the life of Elena, an older adult trapped in an environment where silence and monotony are the only constants. The narrative focuses on the emotional fracture between Elena and her son, Javier: while she seeks a genuine human connection, he lives immersed in a state of permanent digital connectivity that distances him from his immediate reality. Through this contrast, the short film reveals how indifference and technological distraction ultimately displace meaningful moments with those closest to us. More than a fictional narrative, this project emerges as a reflective window onto the paradox of our era: we are more connected than ever, yet more absent than ever before. The short film seeks to make visible the emotional impact of excessive social media use and how obsession with digital life can dismantle physical and emotional contact, leaving older adults in a state of invisible abandonment within their own homes.
