NOM

This film is born from the convergence of two of my great passions: cycling and fantasy and horror movies. In many of my bike rides through the mountains of Gran Canaria, I had numerous visions of places for a potential movie. Ideas flow in a particular way when you are pedalling, and maybe that's why "NOM" is such a personal story. Also, observing the behavior of my fellow elderly cyclists made me reflect on the current conception of aging in the Western developed society. The fantasy genre is ideal to explore existential notions such as time, death or transcendence, which are crucial aspects in this short film, so we felt really confortable focusing this story from a fantastic point of view. "NOM" comes from "Nunquam Omnis Moriar" (I shall never wholly die), a famous sentence from Horace, who aimed to be immotal through his literature. This message will find a new and overwhelming meaning in this short film.
