Director’s Statement
Three losers, three small-time crooks, dreaming of a better life, of a new horizon of freedom, love, money, belief and belonging, will inevitably and tragically watch that horizon fade completely to black before them, starkly revealing the cowardice, treachery and pettiness of the human soul. They will come to realize, very late, that they don’t have the strength to shoulder their dreams or the depth of the kind of personalities they dream of becoming. That they cannot emerge unscathed from the battle against the great powers of money, greed, destiny, blind love, the manipulation of faith...
Narrating the romantic and exceptional destiny of the ordinary people we come across daily on every street corner…people suffocated by a political, economic and religious system. A world that has already been transformed and where sudden, primal, gratuitous violence can break out at any moment and destroy everything in sight, even those who generate it and think they can control or contain it…
It’s a film about the impossible desires that end up killing those who carry them, about trafficking and circulation of all sorts: of goods, of Men, of feelings… and of death when it’s the only thing we have left to buy or sell. So of death as a business, as a belief, as cowardice but also as bravery…
