The creation of every movie is different in terms of storytelling and the production process. The director Raphael Raphael and the producer Javier Parellada explain their journey producing Hidden Treasures of the Sweet Absolute, a developing movie, made in Guatemala, in collaboration with the UFM School of Film and Visual Arts.

Raphael describes the intention of the story, about a young man having trouble telling the difference between reality and his visions, he doesn’t know if the medical treatment he is getting is helping him. One of the objectives of the director is for the movie to invite the audience to share the character’s confusion by telling the story in an experimental way. Then, they share some of the experiences in the production of this movie.
