An apnea outside the world and in the world, between violence and fatuity and the search for a breath. The story is very easy, there is a swimming pool and then there are us who look at the water helplessly with that strong desire to make a decision to notice or to float?
The war is in us, we are the war if we don’t choose until our last breath. This short film is taken from a story of mine that has taken on different forms, there is a piece of my life, there are my fears, there is my nephew who is often older than me and then there are the echoing bombs. There is a love story that ended before it even began.
Apnea is the search for a breath.
