The film is part of the film series “Cal.ligrafies de la malaltia. Lletra de metge”, that presents hand writing as an element of visual culture, rediscovering its richness and artistic value in a time that has been displaced by the communication technologies. The film series also deals, particularly, with Chinese handwriting, which is also one of the spaces of the exhibition.
