Director Statement

I made this shortfilm all by myself in isolation. During the mandatory quarantine in Argentina I participated in a contest which consisted of making a shortfilm in 48 hours. In addition it had to accomplish two required challenges:
- The voiceover had to tell a different story than the picture
- The trigger for the story had to be «Recipe to resist»
Since they were two different stories, I chose the alternate timelines theme, inspired by one of my favorite movies Back to the Future II, but with a more apocalyptic tone.
