Experiencing Interruptions?

(PAUSE)

Director Statement

It was a special moment for all, almost without realizing it, our life changed. “A new way of living” they said.
Forced to leave confinement to receive medical treatment, due to an accident. I traveled by subway to different stations in the city. Being there, I couldn't help the strange feeling of being almost by myself. In a place that used to be synonymous of crowding.
At that moment I decided to capture images of the lonely people in the subway. These images and the voices in the film, invite us to rethink and reflect on important aspects of living. Which unfortunately, under normal circumstances, we forget or overlook.
