Isaki Lacuesta won the Golden Shell at San Sebastián in 2011 with Los pasos dobles and has now returned to the Official Selection with Entre dos aguas, which, in turn, is the sequel to La leyenda del tiempo, the film that he shot 12 years ago in the same location, San Fernando, with the same characters - two gypsy brothers who are now adults.
