The Weight of Light
Concept: “Stress is a cat that never blinks, always on guard”. The Weight of Light is a tale about the importance of following our hearts and using the best tool we have, our mind, to transform negative energies into better ones. No matter how well things go there will always be flickers (parpadeos) in our lives and learning from those flickers is the key to happyness; Stress, the cat that never blinks is always around us, but we have a very special tool with us to try to transform it.
Synopsis: In a world where the economy crisis reaches breaking point, a modest inventor revolutionizes the system and manages to put the greedy corporations in trouble with a simple machine that transforms people’s stress in miraculous ways.
