From a director and producer who buried us inside a box with enough oxygen to survive 90 minutes . And, also, of a writer who takes us to those ghost hours , that trip through time that we do twice a year every time the time changes (or we go on vacation).

Imagine that time is only what you love:
a few words, a few exact beings,
a few very smooth hours, a beach (maybe)
where the harm does not lurk.
Imagine life as it is not now,
I don't mean like something perfect,
but a glow, a certain April from far away,
a random tribute with no other destination
than the fugitive border of a faceless echo.
And then anything.
With what precision is age basting the hawthorn.
And how strange is the urgency to go on foot to the wave,
celebrate slowly that annihilates my mark,
my writing as a man, my certainty of a groove,
be the high mission of what never ends
as the sea does not close its message on the shore.
But being still is not the reason or the goal,
but a smaller will, a clearer conquest:
see life come from its night to your night
in a foreign body,
pronounce your silence,
hug your fence,
desire your emptiness,
rave without path, without map, without fire,
until the time without time
of the country that we will not do.
