Paper Weights

We all carry different experiences throughout life, which bring us yearnings, discoveries, joys and sorrows, all of which become a great baggage that we carry and learn to deal with, weights that can be difficult to carry or easy to bend. In Paper Weights we follow the character's trajectory from his first steps, through the evolution of self-knowledge, thus discovering the best way to take his experiences with him.
