Chimera

The Girl follows her simulation on paths between hills, until the sun abandons her. In this poetic monologue, she realizes her weaknesses to move away from the cave of herself.

Director Statement

Chimera is my first student attempt to visualize the inner rhythm, movement and respiration.
Chimera introduces the portrait of a girl in the light of human condition, like the consciousness of the Sisyphus.
The consciousness of the Sisyphus are the consciences we have, the people who understand how weak we are in changing things.
