Director Statement

All the break, from the outset, the thread of life, love truly unconditional said, this woman follows the reverse side. Impregnated with a violence, both suffered as exercised, she is the picture of a female desecrated, with her angels and demons, her pain, her evil and her delicacy. Life lips away by her breast, although she is always in search of its. A being of multiple faces, desires and obscure feelings. The personification of the myth Gaia, the Great Mother who give-and-take, which nourishes and devours her children after death. This film is a delicate and intimate account about the feminine, its dogmas and precepts. A narrative driven by emotion, betting in sequences plans, at work and emotion of the actors, in a simple straight for word camera and breathing along with the characters. A low budget production in which the window of the festivals is indispensable to its visibility in its country and abroad.
