The water

The water

Andrea Dargenio
A man wakes up in a world where the water has disappeared. There’s no water in the pipes nor in the bottles. Not even one drop falls from the clouds. The sea itself has become a desert. However, everyone acts as if nothing happened. In the bars they sip from empty glasses, from a springboard a diver falls into a dry pool. Alone, the protagonist realizes the incredible disappearance – and nobody pays attention to him.
He lives in Buenos Aires, where he works as producer, post-producer, editor, colorist, vfx compositor. The short film “El agua” (The Water), winner of the INCAA’s “Historias breves“ contest, makes his debut in film direction.
