- Passers-by is a constructivist, multiple, fragmented and cosmic film... a cinematographic Big Bang resulting from a thorough conception and edition work by Director Luis Aller. Passers-by exposes us to ephemeralness inside hundreds of human beings' lives in their particular evolutions, and allows us to watch them as though we open a wide window over the city of Barcelona, which unfolds before us like a map of crossing lives. The stories are seen as incomplete pieces that get sense when mixing with other ones, also incomplete... That of incomplete, fragmented, anonymous, hazardous, unfinished, that which moves... chaos, there is where the essence of Passers-by lies. Shot initially in 35mm, its more than seven thousand shots montage mixes all cinematographic formats and textures. With thousands of characters crossing and getting lost in countless locations of Barcelona city, and with a shooting extended over two decades, Passers-by has been a challenge in terms of production and has boasted the participation of artistic and technical crew of several generations.

- The coast: place from where human beings leave or arrive, line drawn by the water over the earth, feasible of being represented with elementary slight knowledge of cartography. But, a nomadic coast, summons to drama. It can happens to us, start from a place where we will never be able to find even if we decided, or it becomes necessary, the return. It can happen to us, never arrive to the place where we started off, that floats, without rules, with the tides. A nomadic coast makes the trip a peregrination, a destiny. The nomadic coast is a choral film. Their personages ramble between the walls of a city that ignores and leaves them to their own luck. The matter is the daily life rarefied by desire, dreams, solitude and death.
