The animation is completely handmade, consists of 1,250 drawings on paper with oil paints. The work expresses the perception of paralyzing silence between two people where they seem to stop, waiting for a body or in the memory of it. Waiting for something that never comes. The contradiction of a woman who escapes and chases herself. The images denounce the suffering of a cultural isolation suffocated between the echoes and obsessive reproductions of the past. Through various combinations of voices, memories of people, the female figure exudes a restless memory oscillating between dream and reality where at the end she finds herself as a child, as an innocent memory of a brutal past perhaps never existed.
