La elección del blanco y negro está relacionada con la introspectiva del protagonista y está destinada a reflejar su angustia y depresión. Como todas las cosas, al ir usándose, tienden a perder su brillo o color: "Javier", al perder los valores esenciales del ser humano, debido a la opresión laboral, comienza a ver su entorno en una escala de grises; atrapado allí, vemos los paisajes en los tonos deprimentes en los que él los vive. Entendiendo el blanco y el negro como Principio y Fin, respectivamente, la película muestra al protagonista debatiendo consigo mismo dicho ciclo. Anhelando salir de esa tibia escala, busca algo definido: el final. El Blanco y Negro fue usado como otro personaje más en la historia, su elección fue de gran importancia para la trama". -- "Why Black and White? The choice of black and white is related to the protagonist’s introspective and it was meant to reflect his anguish and depression. As all things, when used, they tend to lose their brightness or color: ‘Javier’ as he loses the essential values of the human being, due to labour oppression, he begins to see his surroundings on a grayscale; trapped there, we see the landscapes in depressing tones in which he lives. Understanding white and black as beginning and end respectively, the film shows the protagonist debating with himself such cycle. Longing to get out of that tepid scale, he looks for something defined: the end. Black and White was used as another character in the story, its choice was of great importance to the plot." ____________________ Sinopsis Español: Un empleado promedio, agobiado por la depresión y la soledad causadas por las exigencias laborales de su jefe, y la eterna rutina en la que se encuentra encarcelada su vida.
