"Este tema es una pulsión que tenemos todos, que nace cuando tenemos 5 años y nos damos cuenta de que podemos morir; entonces para superar ese miedo a la muerte buscamos darle sentido a nuestra existencia ya sea en los animales o en las plantitas”; this phrase that said Antonio Isordia, makes reference to the whole context of the documentary, because it show us three different situations which consist of cases about power, love and hatred; aspects that determine life of the human beings. The first case is about a young man who was one of the most important leaders of a historical movement in our contemporary world as an electoral, political, and oppressor weapon. The second situation is about Maria Fernanda who takes a road forward to self-destruction in the drug world. The last one is about Alex a young man who kills his family due to lack of attention and love of his mother. This kind of work is to show attenuating but real situations that exist in our society, so I consider that it is a very interesting documentary because you can see how people try to find a reason for living but in the road there are many distractions that can change or destroy their lives.
