Private Project

Like Water at Sea

A Barcelonan Mumblecore. A big noisy city under construction and two young friends spending a mundane afternoon chatting casually, dispersing existential thoughts, they share ideologies and aspirations, discuss the present, the future, what they have, what they don't, and what they aim to have. A debate between pessimism and optimism, nonconformity and conformity, the ideal and the real. Constructing their imaginary future, after rambling until sunset, they discover the subtle nature between living and existing.
