It Isn’t So
Director
Two boys from the same neighbourhood have taken different life paths. One is studying Architecture at university, the other is quick with a gun. They grew up in an environment of tension, with constant clashes between protesters and the police. The city is a labyrinth in motion: eventually, it ends up looking like the people that live in it, or maybe it is the other way around. It is the difference between living in the city, and on the outskirts of it. Everything looks the same, locked in an endless cycle. But it isn’t.
