Los rugidos que alejan la tormenta

The Roars That Keep the Storm Away
Michel has chosen to leave the city and his family and friends behind to go live alone at an idyllic lagoon, where he fishes and climbs, listening to the sounds of nature and relishing its untamed beauty. He doesn’t need much in this new solitary life. And he doesn’t feel lonely – his friends know where to find him. A brief, reflective portrait shot on grainy Super 8 stock that tells of the freedom inherent in living a self-determined life.
