"Die for a Moment" plunges the protagonist into an intense reflection on his previous way of life. Before arriving on the island, he was trapped in a monotonous and superficial routine, consumed by the demands of a society that valued material success over authenticity and human connection. However, as he enters the isolated, stark beauty of the wintry island, he is confronted with the nakedness of his own existence and the false pretensions that once guided him. "Die for a Moment" is a film born from the chance encounter between Abraham Hurtado and Manos Kotsaris in Berlin. Driven by a joint artistic quest, they decide to venture to a winter island, with only each other's company and the determination to create a film with no other resources than their determination and challenges of doing this film.

Abraham Hurtado is an artist with practices based on constant experimentation and very diverse expressions. His work is traversed by a line of research "body in crisis." Digging in human behavior as a response to a society's condition for its means of production and the commodification of all ways of thinking and being, has become a need. Hurtado understands the body as the container of the emotions, both personal and social; Generating patterns of “antisocial behavior”, states that Abraham explores as a paths to find other ways to operate, to adapt and survive the contemporary society His practices focus on discomfort as is constantly mirroring us, addressing, through the individual experience, problems which are political and symptomatic. If the personal is political, the political invades the core of every individual. www.abrahamhurtado.com Founder and Artistic Director of AADK Spain, in Murcia Region since 2012, based in Centro Negra, (Blanca), Space for research and experimentation.
