Daniel Castro Zimbrón (director) on the spaces and characters:

"I've liked painting a lot since I was a kid, Caravaggio, Rembrandt and these Renaissance painters; and I wanted these atmospheres. I am a director who, more than the story, imagines a lot places; the atmosphere, images. And the characters begin to emerge from there. Ultimately, there are spaces in my films, a desert, a forest, and these represent the interior of a character in which everything is inside them. It seems they are lost in these spaces but, in the end, they are lost in themselves."
