I guess every one of us gets existential every once in a while. And in some way or another, people are always looking for an answer on what does it mean to be human and what the heck are we doing in this frickin' place called Earth?
Thanks to my good friend ManzanaMarina and her wonderful post, I recalled an amazing short
film I just saw a week ago in my Film and Social Change class.
So without getting religious or phislosophical... or anything more profound since my homework and my stomach are both harassing me right now, I wanted to share with you the Brazilian short film (that fortunately I tracked down online) called Ilha das Flores. It is an amazing, inspiring, comedic-tragic, look to the way in which our world works and what a human is... at least what a human is supposed to be within the social and economic boundaries set up, ironically, by ourselves.
I hope you like it.

Très flattée d'être citée dans le blog d'un petit metteur en scène, merci. Y sí, creo que del existencialismo uno no se puede escapar y salir bien librado... gracias a Dios tengo un pulgar opositor. Abrazo

yo tengo que esperar a que sea un día en la madrugada para que no haya gente conectada y ver el video que supongo me gustará, anoche no pudo ser porque estuve dando terapia... muy presente eso de los cuestionamientos y el existir.

Pero.. en realidad existes? What if we are just the characters in an old ladys dream, remembering her life just before she dies?.. ok.. hoy no.
