TRUANTS

Truants follows the sporadic get-togethers of six people in the course of a seven-year period beginning with the summer of 1987 (EuroBasket) and ending with the summer of 1994 (Mundial). It seeks to depict the gradual loss of any possibility of communication among these six individuals who were once close friends (during their school years).

As their lives follow paths that take them far from their island birthplace, their return visits bring them forcibly face to face with the past. The farther they move away from their starting-point, the greater the distance between them grows. Until the point when contact becomes impossible. The final break is unavoidable although it will take an event that serves as a catalyst to make them realize it and it is only then that the longing for what is irretrievably lost will prove romantic wishful thinking.
