Synopsis

During the course of 100 days, Asturian José Díaz resolved to live in the complete loneliness in the middle of Nature. Inspired by the American philosopher H. D. Thoreau and his book 'Walden', Díaz decided to venture to live for 100 days in a cabin in the middle of Redes Natural Park, in Asturias, doing without any real world advances. No electricity, no computer, no clock, no cell phone... '100 días de soledad' shows us how José faced the experience of living completely isolated, how he survived and stayed sane. The film has been recorded in its entirety by Díaz himself, who had a drone and three cameras to record images of an astonishing beauty in the middle of the Asturian mountains. Wanda Natura, the team behind 'Cantábrico', are responsible for this documentary.

  • 8.0 CinemaníaSantiago Alverú "José Diaz proves you don't know Asturias. Or yourself." Read

Trivia

  • Asturies' mystery

    The enigma that Diaz found in the high lands of the Asturian mountain has been materialized in the photographs and texts that make up the three volumes dedicated to Networks. The last of them, Entradas al paraíso, just saw the light and closes the trilogy, composed of two previous books: Mi cabaña, mi mundo y Sentido: Asturias a flor de piel.

  • 100 true days

    It consisted of a hundred-day retreat in a cabin in complete solitude, without communication with the outside, and in a situation of self-sufficiency, something he faced for the first time in his life.

  • No hunting

    It's important to highlight that there wasn't any type of hunting.

  • Dates

    The experience was filmed from the 12th of September to the 19th of December, 2015. As the same Díaz says, he chose this date because it includes many changes in the Nature: from the last days of summer to the snowfalls of December, stepping through the autumn.

  • Resources

    In order to recreate the conditions in which our ancestors lived, Díaz had a certain number of resources: a. Six hens and a rooster. b. A little vegetable garden. c. A stream close to the cabin. d. A few hives where he could get honey. e. A horse to transport the filming equipment. f. Nature's pharmacy to relieve illnesses. g. A sac of legumes and various cans.
