In a suspended, dreamlike space, symbolic elements and characters made out of baling wire and colored with tempera run after each other, frame after frame. A firstborn and his newborn brother in the eternal fight for survival which usually begins when the newborn arrives and everything changes.
Resistencia is entirely based on material found in a private archive composed of roughly two thousand pictures that my great-uncle took between the 30's and the 60's.
