JR (2018)

"I have done many paintings of which I am proud, in the middle of the chaos, without money", responds the artist Julio Ruiz to the questionings of his daughter, who tries to make him a film portrait. For Ruiz, the value of being congruent with oneself carries more weight than the promises of stability offered by traditional daily life.
