Director’s Statement

Some filmmakers like to think of cinema as a space for searching, for meeting the real. A space that links us with life, a space where we can also learn to live. 'To sustain the desire, over time, that is the motivation of this beautiful film'. There's no better phrase to define the film we're embarked in. For os, cinema has always been and is a place where the world lives. That's why we can't conceive a film that doesn't come out of desire and love. Cinema as a generator of bonds.
