Dir. Santiago Parres. Spain. 2013. 08’ 20”

Nobody understood the prophets when talked about them. They are unshakeable witnesses of full moon and destruction, of arts and tides. They know our past glories and our present miseries. They behold us and stay hidden in the crowd… most of the time. They are intangible, and nevertheless they look so real.
