DIRECTOR STATEMENT

This project is born by the will  to unveil the encounter between humans and their surroundings. The effects that the environment have on our society is been a recurrent theme in my work, and in this film I approached it from the point of view of the urban architecture.
There is something enigmatic about the buildings and the structure that surround us.

We made them, but sometimes they can feel oppressive and overbearing, as if humanity was just a marginal presence in a world made by the architecture itself.
