The unbearable mundanity of being

The unbearable mundanity of being? Yes, the strength of what is eternally equal, a burden on our very lives. An empty discourse in favour of an order that grants nothing, but conformity. A thinking and acting dedicated to arrogance, to the sublimation of what he does not want to change, because he is too stable. The same inertia that, every day, takes a life; and returns a death. No, here there is no passion, no crime, there is nothing, but a method to try not to perceive subtle changes... There are no more poets or philosophers, nor even people; this whole vast world is made up of masked faces, in silence, before the very drama that, in their dreams, they would like to realize.

La Marsha de los elefantes

A trip through time, of the memories and life of Stephen Marsh Planchart, a musician and poet born on a US military base in Trinidad and Tobago, son of a Trinitarian singer and a US marine. In 1958, Stephen’s father was sent to the Vietnam War, when Stephen was only two months old, and nothing was ever heard of him since. In the film now, 53 years later, Stephen makes a trip down the memories of his past to discover where his father is and the meaning of his absence on his life. A documentary described through the symbols of memory; a portrait of a man who found in music a way to respond to his reality.
