Motivation
Sometimes everyone, at one time or another, we neglect or underestimate what is closest to us of us. Routine and proximity make important details invisible. Outstanding aspects that are part of our closest environment: That work friend who offers us his shoulder when we feel like crying, the shopkeeper on the corner of the street below, the neighbor who offers us a smile every morning... These and other shared reflections inspire this new short film.
