Pitufo, un joven desguazador de barcos, sueña con escapar de la remota bahía donde pasa sus días entre el metal y el fuego. En busca de su libertad, emprende un laberíntico viaje a los pantanos del suroeste de Florida. Un territorio insólito donde deberá enfrentarse a sus miedos más profundos.

“Taking part in Open Doors could be a turning point for our film: it would give visibility and international recognition to the project, introducing it to the global market. Our main priority is to increase the possibilities of financing and international support, so that we can move on to the next stage. We believe participating in person has been strategic to make contact with European co-producers, sales agents, international broadcasters and distributors best suited for this story,” she added.
