Dutch Blue

In an abandoned paint factory in the suburbs of an unknown city, a mourning boy takes
refuge in an old car in which he sees the memories of the past. In grieving, remembering a
loved one who has passed away provides both relief and pain to find peace.

Director Statement

Children look at the world with a filter, that of the imagination. They weave textures and colors
effortlessly, building timeless and placeless worlds.
This story was built thinking with the mind of a child, Milo, trying to
get out of any logical and rational scheme, a very complicated commitment.
Milo enters a unique car, a space for many memories for the child; a car of
time that sails into the past, setting off on a fantastic journey, which can only be traveled with the
mind.
This car will become a filter between imagination and reality, and at the same time a symbol of
breaking of such a fictitious world.
