Director Statement

Surfaces was born as an adventure in the investigation of the different appearances that human violence can acquire. For this reason, the project has been created from the script with a narration in which the description of superficial details predominates. The interest in telling the story in such a way resides in the idea that the mystery of things, of situations and, primarily, of people is present in our eyes, and it is in their own closeness the perfect mask that deceives our perception .
