Concept
Written and produced by BE.POLAR Studio, “The Keep” is a short-documentary that was born out of a desire to tell, through the portrait of a great artisan, the play of mirrors between tradition, culture, food and the future.
A visual and emotional journey, to process with greater awareness issues that affect our responsibility and choices .
