BLOODY BOOTS Bloody Boots is a traditional animation video and the first one about ?Power Trilogy?, whose mission is to reflect on our human, animal, artificial and spiritual nature and on the ritual of compensation we have to undertake to ensure that we adapt to our surrounding environment. The story tells about a normal pair of boots turns, by the vital and regenerator effect of blood, in autentic magic object of power. The blood that flows from earth transform the boots in protectives and magics. The ?new? boots gives the girl a big power. Now she is mentally and physically prepared to croos any territory. The blood is portrayed as the vital fluid that serves as a conduit for the realisation of the ritual and confers a special power on the object. Blood gives people a human condition and bestows an inheritance, a genetic nature. The content of the video is anchored in the earthly, working wih the human.
