"AzulOscuroCasiNegro is a story of people fighting against their destiny, against "what is written in the stars". People trapped on the other side of a window, a window so fine that you can barely sense it, it is almost invisible, but difficult to ignore. A window which separates them from their dreams, a window which they constantly come up against but which they forget every day, as easily as a fish forgets that it is in an aquarium. The characters [...] want everything, and yet, little by little, they must learn to stop resisting, to stop defying life, but not docilely, quite the contrary. They must learn to accept their own limits to be able to advance, gradually. To reach a destination which is fundamentally different from the one they had dreamed of, but a destination which is perhaps more welcoming, more agreeable..." Born in Madrid in 1970, Daniel Sanchez Arévalo studied economics before becoming a scriptwriter for TV drama series. He won a Fulbright scholarship to do a Master's degree in Cinema at the Columbia University, New York. There he made around 10 shorts, some of which were received encouragingly: Exprés was nominated for a Goya, Fisica II was pre-selected for the Oscars, and La culpa del Alpinista was seleced for the Venice Mostra. AzulOscuroCasiNegro, a modern, poetic and off the wall fable is his first feature.
