Director Statement Iniciamos este proyecto junto a Jordi Roca y BBVA con el objetivo sincero de ayudar a personas que sufrían una pérdida total o parcial de olfato y gusto. Algo que parece no tener excesiva importancia y que sin embargo, al hablar con ellos, nos dimos cuenta de hasta qué punto podía llegar a afectarles anímicamente. Como director mi intención ha sido la de plasmar el esfuerzo que Jordi ha hecho para ayudarles a volver a sentir, y la sensación que los pacientes han tenido al recordar esos sabores.
