The main role is played by old family photographs. Illuminated by the
beam of a flashlight like the objects of a treasure hunt, these
pictures that are displayed pinned to a tatami mat present a strange
scene. Encouraged to solve the mystery by the enigmatic developments
surrounding a date that has been lost, we cannot follow this path to
the “truth.” A work in which both the monologue and visuals make use
of the immense power of poetry to deliver a message

In Bosch's hell, she was condemned to look at her own reflection.
Forever. Condemned by her vanity, she is vanity. Spirit that wanders
through the darkness of the Garden of Earthly Delights. She is
vanitas. The Latin noun means "emptiness" and "vanity." And it also
refers to the "vanitas" paintings of the Middle Ages. A type of
symbolic work of art from northern Europe and the Netherlands, from
the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, which seem like a morbid
artifact, but act as a reminder of the ephemerality of life.Memento
mori, or "remember death". A poignant message from Art comes to this
film. Because today we do not share pains and failures. And so vanity
is the price to be paid. Such a move made vanity a virtue, no longer
the capital sin of pride. Bringing among its characteristics
immortality. We are the civilization that put death aside. Therefore,
the idea of this work is to exhort the spectator to consider
mortality. Pondering about death is, paradoxically, pondering about
life and temptations. Observing ignorance about false values, this
dancing spirit warned that "our vices and horrors, dishonorable
passions, wild, blind, dangerous irrationalities, our unconfessable
impulses ..." has an end. This is the drama.
