This short film came out because of my fear to death. Since I was child, I`ve always been thinking about death and the more I get older, more I am aware of it.
This short film is like a therapy for my.
Este cortometraje surgió a causa de mi miedo a la muerte. Desde niño pienso constantemente en la muerte, conforme pasan los años, más consciente estoy de su llegada.
Este cortometraje es una terapia para mi.
