Years When I Was a Child Outside

An experimental feature, Years When I Was a Child Outside, begins as an attempt by John Torres to make a documentary on his father. However, this becomes one of his many abandoned projects. In the end he decides to use the various images and sounds he has gathered to create a new film on isolation and self-expression.
The film is about the relationship between a father and son. That father, Rodolfo Torres, was a successful author and seller of self-help books, whose publishing empire collapsed at a certain point. After this disaster for the family, it also emerges that the father has yet another complete family with a wife and children. It is upon this revelation that his son decides to flee the house.

Years When I was a Child Outside is directed by John Torres and will be shown at IndieSine Robinsons Galleria from August 20 to 26, 2008.
