Director Statement

This short film is an attempt to deepen into the human condition, it aims to share with the viewer a reflection on the need to delve into our past, no matter how painful it may be, as the only way to be able to confront it and recover ourselves .

As filmmakers our responsibility is to give the viewer something not superfluous, and to put on the table situations that happen to all of us.

Cinema has that power of great magnitude to dissolve the line between the real and the dreamlike, having the ability to create a subjective journey of the characters through their environments and their specific circumstances.
