The film itself, totaling in 6 minutes and 41 seconds, sonically reimagined, explores the effect of the expansion of time which seems to elude us while filming a fleeting moment. It seeks to create a space for the contention and exaltation of the true meaning of an experience which would easily drift into oblivion and to its final dilution in the fast natured individualistic stream of data. Titled moment: "Tour VOLVER of Ana Torroja at the Auditorio Nacional at 9:53 p.m. on October 12, 2019 in Mexico City with my love." Everything we experience, no matter how minute or negligible it may seem, specially when it pertains to the routinely, ordinary, static experience, contains within itself something sacred, almost mystical.
