A Propósito de Willer
2016
In this short, Willer’s poetic images and his voice dress the streets, the skies, the avenues.

From an erotic and personal approach, the filmmakers give substance to what Willer states...or perhaps it’s the reverse: it is the images that coexist freely with the sound field of words and music.
