Director Statement

This film was made thanks to a good serendipity and the result of a long process of songwriting, yoga practice and drawings. When I started to film the first footage I didn't know what I wanted to tell. But I try to rely on intuition and dreams to find inspirational material.Maybe it is nothing but an attempt to know who I really am. Anyway the Astral world remains an enigma and songwriting a blessing for a solitary artist.
