Plots(1)

The main protagonist of the letter, Misael Saavedra, is an actor from Lisander's debut Freedom. It's a direct reaction to Serra's letter and we are witness to reflections of the artist's own style and storytelling methods. Th is letter is also more or less wordless. In any event, language is used here in diff erent contexts than what is usual; it's only one element that creates the whole. It retains a strong documentary streak, despite the fact that part of the letter gives us the impression that a story is unfolding before us. Serra and Alonso film without any kind of financial restraints, which gives their present
work a marked dose of freedom. (Ji.hlava International Documentary Film Festival)
