Chapter No. 1: So They Say
Alejandra Alonso Rojas is taking us back to her native Spain in this short film showcasing her Spring/Summer 2018 collection. “So They Say” is directed by Alex Cascallana and shot in the Spanish countryside, that has been a source of inspiration for the work of so many artists throughout history, as is literary romanticism. Model-actress Estella Boersma stars as a young woman grappling with the desire to live in her own dream-like world uninhibited by reality; her whimsical world is narrated by excerpts from Galician writer-poet Rosalía de Castro‘s, “They Say That The Plants Don‘t Speak.”
