Little Block of Cement with Dishevelled Hair Containing the Sea
A dog and a mare embark upon a voyage together. With every step they take, the differences between them become inevitably clearer, and yet the profound mutual knowledge they develop over time shows the potential to suddenly produce a luminous moment between the two.

Born in Barcelona, after working as a copywriter for several years i start developing personal video projects. During this time, i attend a Filmmaking International Workshop in the San Antonio de los Baños Cinema School and complete a Master in Digital Video at the Pompeu Fabra University of Barcelona. "Little block of cement with disheveled hair containing the sea" is my first professional short film, a low budget and self produced project recorded in the province of Chimborazo, Ecuador.
Much more than a love story, "Little Block of Cement with Disheveled Hair Containing the Sea" is a story of needing, of searching, and, above all, of coexisting. The idea of romantic love, in whose name we decide to share our life with someone, often masks other types of needs that have no relation with a firm belief in mutual and unconditional surrender as the ideal manner of living. Nevertheless, the decision to come together and share our life with another person, despite innumerable disagreements, eventually provides a valuable experience for both parties.
