Director Statement

This film intends to create awareness about the one thing that will be more precious than gold in a few years: water.

We take water for granted. And if we're not careful, we will pay a huge price.

By making a raw and dry film, in a not so improbable future, we hope to make people think twice about this element that is essential for sustaining life.
