Sinopsis:

Las meninas is about what the routine of everyday life can do to the human mind and psyche. It also reflects on the importance of the choices we make and how limited these choices are in the first place. Revolving around a family of four, living in a strange villa, whose lives are manipulated by the only son, Las meninas resembles the scattered pieces of a puzzle. It is up to the viewer to assemble them in order to form their own picture - a kind of modern interactive filmic experience.
