Who am I?

The main character is a giant who carries people across the river. He's broad shouldered, with long legs and a firm step. Because of his aquatic activities, he don't use so many clothes, only a little speedo and watter resistant glasses.
He looks like and old prophet. Kindly and pleasant.

The other actor is a little mysterious child. He's supposed to be the infant Christ. He represents the world as a whole, the humanity and the cosmos. He could be just a figure created by Christopher imagination, a real God, an alien or a simple parasite grabbed in his back.

Where am I?  

This is a timeless story which takes place in a misty landscape. Mountains, river and bucolic countryside . As far as the film wind on, the landscape predominates more an more over the human figure, and it looks more aggressive and scary.

When am I?
This is a timeless story. It could be the future, but there are some ancient references, specially in the child's dress and the Symbology refered.  


What do I want?
The giant wants to help the child to cross the river.


Why do I want it?

Because this is his job and his destiny. But he's not just a victim, he's an active part of his own destruction.



How am I going to get what I want?
You can't always get what you want. The giant can't carry such a heavy weight, and finally they drowned in the bottom of the river.


What gets in the way of what I want?

A heavy weight, extreme wind, waves, flood and diseases.
