Synopsis
José Alejandro González traveled the world with a camera, capturing faces, voices, and fleeting encounters with strangers. On one of those trips, while working as a cleaner in a hotel in the north, the camera turned on itself. Habitante was born from that gesture: an intimate logbook made up of personal archives, fragments of travel, and shared silences. Through a sensitive and fragmented montage, the film explores the resonances between the filmmaker's life and those he encountered along the way, revealing common echoes of migration, uprooting, and searching. More than a portrait of the other, Habitante is a question about how we inhabit the world, about the sometimes impossible desire to belong. Between tenderness and discomfort, between observation and self-exploration, the film becomes an emotional diary that, by looking outward, ends up revealing the inner landscape of the filmmaker.
