LA ALEGRÍA DE VIVIR

Miguel Rojas

Spain 15 min. min Worldwide premiere

Synopsis

The Joy of Living is about an unexpected trip to Senegal. Filmed in Super 8 and narrated by the author himself in a tone somewhere between personal diary and essay, the film recounts the impressions and feelings he experienced throughout the journey. The force of the gazes, the luminosity of the sky, or African hospitality all help him reach a state that was until then unknown to him.
