"Traffic in the Streets of Shanghai. A soundtrack of street noise, passing bicycles and cars resolve into an inner dialogue reflecting on our individual freedom: Lee Wuan says there are people who aren't meant to be, like raindrops that trickle down a window until they merge with others forming a stream of water."

"Irene en Negativo tells the story of Hector, a photographer obsessed with his model and lover's image: Irene. But as his interest swings from her to her photographs, Irene plans her escape and ultimate revenge thru the photo negatives... Originally (and ironically) conceived as a super 8 project to vindicate photography and film as a medium in this digital age (the film is a small hommage to the art and magic of the darkroom), 'Irene en Negativo' evolved into a digital project.
