En Cenizas II

It’s the image of a family posing for a photo. It’s a family that tries to make us believe that they are happy, that they don’t have problems. We see them very elegant looking towards the camera.

But even when they try to pretend they are happy, we see how it is raining inside this house and we hear how this house is being destroyed. But this family decides to ignore what happens around them to preserve the image they want to give to photography. In addition, we see two men standing with them but these two men don’t look the camera, which allows us to intuit that there is something that this family doesn’t want to show, but that accompanies them.

It’s a video about the need we have to pretend to be perfect, beautiful and happy, to show an image of what we are for the other, hiding our imperfect reality.
