Director Statement

Patchwork is based on the real life of Loly, a woman from a little town in the north of Spain, a place educated by old and deep beliefs where she has gown up and has raised a family.
During the 8 minutes long, that the film lasts, we are be able to see a continuos reference to the patchwork concept.
Patchwork is the technique of reusing fabrics to create new textiles, trasplants have the same aim, so this the paralelism between re-using materials and re-use organs.
This project use different animation techiques depending of what it is said, It gives the technique a way of express itself.
