Short Film Finalist 7th FICNOVA 2024.
FICNOVA recognizes this film for providing a demonstration effect of the search for internal coherence in people, necessary to guide their lives in the future. A search for the fundamental questions we human beings ask ourselves: who we are, where we come from and where we are going. A search that questions the self-serving publicity of supposed exits. A convergent direction recognizable in more and more people, capable of breaking down the barriers between us by caring for others and working together.
