REMARKS FROM THE DIRECTOR
With this film I offer an interpretation of several transcendental historic events from the perspective of a Latin American, a critical and introspective thinker. I use poetic, minimalist, symbolic and monumental language, as warranted by the themes to be treated. At the same time, it is journey of reflection in the memory of a human being, in the solitude and silence of a prison cell, as he discovers and reinvents his past, traveling imaginatively in his memory, in a state of constant watchfulness that allows him to tie up loose ends and untangle knots, in order to comprehend the reasons of his own human nature, as contradictory as our very history.
