What did you film on 12.12.12?

During my 2012-2013 Summer season labour responsibilities,
I tried to focus on the sorroundings of Maldonado-City, at 'Jose Ignacio Resort ' . Space and time, microscopic stories, human, animal, nature, freedom and limitations, in particular, the rare family of ' teros', the typical native Uruguayan birds which mingle good and evil, and how they relate with each other and metaphorically, with us, Humans. Amazingly, they let me film them without being attacked.
A butterfly destined to die trapped within a glass, in her attempt to survive in the Eternal Return, was finally saved .
And then, the magic hour of reunion, the magnificent sunset, the fishing men, actions, gestures, shapes, stories which interweave and the most important thing in Life, the only One Real Certainty of all: LOVE and LIGHT.
