I knew a man who was sweeping his roof only out of the gallantry towards the sky.
'I knew a man who sweeping his roof only out of the gallantry towards the sky' is the quote from the most surreal drama of Lorca - 'The public'. It was the starting point to tell the impressionist story about the borders of reality and about the nature of imposing our fantasies and expectations on different people, in any kinds of relationships. The animation doesn't give the answer, statement, or protest. It's a reflexion, in which we can all mirror and question our own relation with so called reality. |
