Director's note
Director's Statement:
Behind the scenes of the cinema and its people, has always been my constant and fascinated concern. That some films are made in strange places and that filmmakers are sometimes forced to do things at any cost in order to achieve their goals. Sometimes they even forget their humanity.
Now, the challenge is to confront people with a donkey in behind the scenes of a movie that is being made with a global goal and a message for humanity to remark, with a critical and humorous look, that none of the life’s problems will have true outcomes, unless we get back to love and honesty. Like when we were pure children.
Do you think the cinema and its people are not a symbol of our current society with its people? Just like life?
