Words by Leonardo:
Possible worlds that introduce filtering destinies: portals to an everyday life that flows, changes and returns. Characters and atmospheres out of synchrony with the normal flow of time. An agglomerate of impressions, figures and scenes, collected during movement in space and mind-freeing attempts.
