Those That Remain is a story about nostalgia, identity and memory; but above all, it has to do with love and dreams.

As they work, they share their dreams, loves, fears, and the life unfolding down below. The bridge is just an excuse. What matters happens beneath them: work, humor, friendship, desire, and the small moments that life is made of. And as the bridge rises, the legend draws near. See More
