Private Project

THE FASTEST MAN ON EARTH

Two characters inhabit the tension of an uncertain present. In the darkness of a desolate street, she points a gun at him. The situation unleashes a kind of psychological duel that is constructed through images that live in their minds. A duel in which each of them is transported through their memories to different places. In it, grief takes precedence. In him, the compulsion to repeat and pride. Convinced that he will not be hit by the bullet, he is overconfident in his particular ability to dodge life.
