When Europa, a Phoenician princess, was with her companions on the eastern coast of the Mediterranean Sea, Zeus observed her and fell in love with her. He transformed himself into a white bull, so tame that Europa approached him, put flowers on his neck and finally dared to ride him. Then Zeus rose up and crossed the Mediterranean Sea, taking her with him to the island of Crete, where Europa gave birth to Minos and Sarpedon. And so Zeus decided to give this part of the world the name of his beloved.

[EN] by Fernando Vílchez
Mario Sanz needs only one shot to condense all the realities of that haughty and discordant space called Europe. A circular shot that slowly runs through a single space, a refugee camp in its daily effervescence. A few meters away, practically across the street (or the fences), are the European suburbs. Empty streets, local businesses, the village church. The traffic stands as a formidable and traumatic testimony. A clash of two worlds that in the end is one. In Europe, the rain falls equally on all of us.
