- Synopsis
- The inspiration for “Green Grass” came from the kind of moments in life where we find ourselves at a loss for words. One such moment is when we have lost everything, we don’t know what to do next and how to face a new beginning. We would be deeply affected by our wounds and failures. However, if we finally understand and accept them, new unimagined paths can unfold in front of our eyes.
  Also want to show the importance of waiting for the right time and being patient. By putting distance between oneself and an overwhelming experience, we can think clearly and understand better what is happening, which in turn leads us to take clear actions that will open to new possibilities. This idea is manifested throughout the film, shown through a naturalist world that constantly breaks with the narrative; where Latin American magic realism is crossed with the oriental way to make time and space be felt as living paintings framed by a cinematic image.
