"Estrés", a work by Javier Ferrer Martínez from Murcia, is a powerful short film that invites us to reflect on everyday life marked by stress and the accelerated pace we often adopt. In just 4 minutes, the film poses an essential question: Is this really the lifestyle we want for ourselves and for the planet?
The short film plunges us into the hectic routine of modern life, where stress has become a constant companion. People face the daily pressures of their responsibilities, as time marches relentlessly on. The visual narrative shows us individuals caught in a frantic race, with no time to stop and breathe.
However, "Stress" does not only show human tension, but also presents us with the counterpart: the serenity and tranquillity offered by our oceans. Through striking images of the wonders of the underwater world, the film takes us to explore the peace and relaxation that only the oceans can convey. The calm waters, vivid colours and lush marine life act as a reminder of the beauty and serenity that we often overlook in our hectic lives.
In addition, "Stress" addresses the troubling reality that our actions as human beings are causing stress on the planet itself. The consequences of our decisions and activities are already beginning to manifest themselves, and the film calls us to take notice.
Ultimately, "Stress" is a call to reflect on how we live and how our actions affect both our own mental health and the health of the planet. The short film invites us to find a balance between our responsibilities and the need to connect with nature in order to maintain a healthier and more sustainable life. "Stress" is a reminder that, amidst the hustle and bustle of modern life, the tranquillity of nature is still within our reach, waiting to be rediscovered.
