Love a human means… to show fleeting moments, passing time, running thoughts; to give them their own life. To make them last. To sketch the picture of the human condition in spite of all things which separate or link people. To show, not only “here and now” but also “everywhere and always”, what is important, what will never end, who we were, are, and will be.
Films up to 20 minutes. |
