Summer
2016, 7 min.
On a sunny Mediterranean beach, time seems to be frozen. A black man, utterly exhausted, painfully crawls to leave the beach. All around him, the usual mix of people enjoying the beach seem not to notice him. Freely inspired by a photo taken by Juan Medina on the beach of Gran Tarajal in Spain, in 2006.
