Director Statement
Whenever something happens in our lives, this becomes part of our past. Accepting or not that vital experience, the world can be made wider or smaller. If you give up your memories, your identity, who you are, your world can be locked in a perimeter of 522 steps. My film is about the need to agree and accept your past, so you may find a manner for your world to widen, or, at least, so it doesn't end being too small.
