Through a language that merges documentary, fiction and theater, I stage a closed and hyperreal universe, where each dispute is a lunch. With irony and cruelty, he explores the antechamber of the crime, that suspended moment in which the tragedy of reality can still be avoided, perhaps, thanks to the cinema. “
