IMPEDIMENTO (OFFSIDE)
“Impedimento” (Offside) is about dreaming: daydreams with which we set our goals, and the nightmares that paralyze us. Circumstance, indeed, can impede us. If we're not careful, the clock can run out. But as in soccer, there's always a chance that we'll be released just in time with the goal ours for the taking. (feature-length)
