It's the details that make a difference in people, beyond the words.
For this reason, the protagonists of the video, in the exhibition of photographs by Roger Rosfer, do not speak. Being looked at, photographed in their barracks, while showing a few clothes that have, sign posters of the actors of Bollywood cinema or remain motionless in front of the camera. Their looks are as important as the imperceptible movements of the hands, feet, of breath. Their being is as important as they do not have.
We will not know what to daydream or while sleeping; if you have ever watched a movie or television; if you know how to write and read; if someone really between them would like to become a star.
The videos last for a few minutes and are repeated continuously to capture the details of a life so different and distant from our.
And if the players do not smile in photos ever, in the video they do. And their smiles are contagious, as the shared dreams.
Free to dream is a summary of some questions. If we are all free to dream, but the reality surpasses the dream, where does the dreamer? Where the dream begins and the projection of the dreams of those who invent them? Because beauty is not in the places where we would expect to find?
The journey, pointing to directions uncomfortable, allows you to discover the lives of others, eliminating the tendency to make everything fit within the parameters of their culture or personal experience. As in a dream, the gaze of others watching us and gives us, not follow a linear path, a landscape, a completely different view. The dream becomes reality, but it resides in the possibility of becoming that all his power.
