ANOTHER LIFE

ÓLEO SOBRE VIENTO
Schweiz, Spanien 2018 – Director: Alejandro Perez – Original language: Spanish – Subtitles: English – Length: 19 min.
An island in the glittering sunlight, a cabin to live in, olive trees, water and wind. A wonderfully enigmatic short film about the dream of a simple life. A cine-poem that asks the question: is less more?
