Elegant Reflection on Fact

A serene (and beautiful) observational short, without passing judgment. Between the initial extreme long shot of a golf course and the final shot of a beautiful private house that suggest leisure (of the wealthy), the images follow one another without comment, and show the daily work activity of migrant workers in the Okanagan Valley, heart of the Syilx Okanagan Nation, located in the federal parliamentary constitutional monarchy called Canada, which officially appropriated not-ceded land owned by the native people of North America. The evaluation or interpretation of this brief and clear audiovisual exhibition of two opposites depends on each viewer. Although spoken in Spanish, there is no need for subtitles.
