ZAPATOS-CHAUSSURES-SHOES

Director: JAVIER ERCILLA & VICTORIA PLAZA.

Sentir, de alguna manera, que los pasos no son nunca perdidos… Un peu plus de sept minutes qui se dessinent pas à pas, avec un esprit de fantaisie, de réflexion, de sensation et d'empathie... Sept minutes qui marchent avec le spectateur, avec sa capacité de lire en images les sensations des pieds avec ses expériences, et qui déambulent dans l'esprit de celui qui porte chaque soulier. Marcher entre des photographies en noir et blanc, en couleur et en néon. Avancer sur le chemin de la réflexion visuelle et sonore. Sentir, d'une certaine façon, que les pas ne sont jamais perdus...
