Escapes (2014)

China is the name of a young American of Spanish and Chinese origin and photographer by profession. She has recently suffered the loss of her family. Gripped by loneliness, she decides to start on a trip to Spain; a journey that will give back to her the memory of her father. Her escape increasingly brings her closer to nature, to the Spanish people and their land. Her feelings and her gaze also evolve as time goes by. She gradually matures, she finds herself. In her journey she has to overcome particularly hard times, even coming very close to death. However, she also finds help and understanding which motivate her to overcome her grief and to find her roots. As an artist she initiates a new, more profound path; a gaze that unites her parents and is portrayed in the pictures she takes. If at the beginning of her trip China felt alone for the loss of her family, at the end of it she succeeds in gaining a new family that gives meaning to her life. Destiny puts in her hands the life of a Moroccan child called Mus, whom she rescues and ends up adopting, and also a new love.
