Synopsis:

For Patrick, a tortilla chip started his moment of self-discovery. With exuberant dancing and magical passion he shares his inspiration and invites everyone to participate. Even his mother.

*Authors Take:

- This is one of the best interpreted short film in my collection so far. The technique in visualization to express an emotion that is tightly hidden and controlled is supreme on this film. The journey watching this film enables you to wonder what happens when you let go of those things that you are keeping inside you.
