The figure of the vagabond is a constant in the filmography of Chumilla-Carbajosa.
In several short films of the 80s and 90s and the documentary Search for Life, produced in 2007 by Elías Querejeta, clear stylistic precedents, characters and themes that have culminated, after four decades, in the filming of his new feature film Regreso al Horizonte (2017) in which, once again, homeless characters are the protagonists.
This feature film will hit theaters on December 15, with an important cast of actors from Murcia such as Ginés García-Millán, Anton Valén, Pepa Aniorte, Enrique Martínez and Daniel Albaladejo.
