Director’s memories

Eva’s dream is formed from a personal experience. A dream that started as an adventure, became a nightmare from which I awoke petrified. Thinking about those images, I was wondering where this fear came from. After all, in the dream I was only walking. I understood that the problem wasn’t walking but walking by myself. Walking alone, in the female unconscious, is a sign of danger; plenty of stories of women that have been attacked, reduced to, eliminated, as pray. In the predator’s mind walking alone for a woman, is a risky act.

Nowadays, for the benefit of the society, conscious men and women are trying to make a change. In society there are no hunters or pray according to our gender identity because we accept gender equality and reject the destructive hierarchy, historically accepted, of a man over a woman.

Being part of the generation that works for that change, demands us to construct narratives that demonstrate this reality. 

In the dream of Eva, the intention to recount in detail the fleeing of a woman, is preceded by the intention to understand her emotions. The newspapers and media are unfortunately full of news that do not report damaged humans, just a bunch of statistics that quickly increase. If you feel the freedom and fear of Eva, or if you are shocked by the strangeness of what you see, then you are Eve and can identify with her. For the viewer it stops being a story that happens to another person and you believe that changing from tranquility to terror is strange and not natural.

This search for sensoriality is based on the construction of off-camera characters and an aural landscape that becomes a character in itself. 

When dreams become nightmares, waking up is an obligation and finally a dream.
