<Being and Nothingness> is an animation that poetically explores the cycle of life in which various beings coexist. The video is an irregular sequence of landscapes and fragments of life. At the beginning, we see a person (A) going about his daily routine on a secluded hillside. Spending time with his dog, A moves to new places and passes through different landscapes and people. The camera reflects on the daily lives of the other people that the individual meets, showing the landscapes that permeate their lives.
