«While reading a child's essay, I noticed he had written that he 'got used to seeing the Punta Perotti complex on the drive to the beach with his parents. This gave me the idea for the film. A little girl builds sand castles. A city builds cement monstrosities. The winter of a city that hides its sea and the innocence of a girl who looks at the buildings. The springtime of a city that restores its environment and the joy of a girl as she jumps on the sand castles. The hope that children will always be able to look out across open horizons»
