Deadline: So, where does the title of The Windshield Wiper come from?
[Alberto] Mielgo: There is novel that Virginia Woolf wrote, called The Waves, and it has kind of like the rhythm of waves. It’s very interesting and I felt inspired by that because the rhythm of the film is almost like wiping. So, you see any scene and it wipes. And the thing is that we always fail to define love, because what we are doing is trying to give a word to something that is very difficult to define, because we use the same word for each different relationship. So, metaphorically, what I was trying to do is basically show the drops that fall on the windshield, they kind of form a specific pattern, and then you wipe it and the whole window is clean again, but it keeps raining and the pattern is completely different. It might look similar, but it’s completely different.
