"In only 8 minutes this shortfilm tells clear and with nearly documental impact a little story about a young fotojournalists choice of conscience: does he keep on to be the henchman of the sensational press or does he go his own way of true values?
PURA IMAGEN is a very moral film, which along the way tells the problem of the boat refugees on the Canary Islands and shows the corruption of the police and the shocking lust for sensation of the tourists. A beautifully told, thrilling shortfilm..."
