Synopsis
"Quarantines" is a collective film made at the time of the first confinement of 2020. Ten international directors, ten perspectives that intersect in the same period, with their authentic and more atypical universes than each other. A work that unites in isolation and expresses the impalpable. This film is a challenge, a bet: that of creation which persists despite everything within the constraints of the health crisis.
