A new look at reality.

Vana Espuma is a fantastic film. The writer examined reality from an exciting, different view of acceptance. This film is a throw back to the great early television shows "Twilight Zone" or "Alfred Hitchcock Presents." The director uses the camera and effects to tell the story, not to make it "cool" however, the effects are cool. This is a great exercise in film making.
