ABOUT US
What happens with love in a tropical city? Do we love the same in Guayaquil, the same way they do in Manhattan, Paris, or Rio de Janeiro? Most likely, the answer will be “yes”, but we wanted to discover it hand in hand with our students from the Audiovisual Communication and Performing Arts career at “Universidad Casa Grande”. Inspired by the films of “City of Love”, such as ‘Paris, je t’aime’; ‘New York, I love you’; etc., in 2016 it occurred to us to dream that Guayaquil was also city for love, and that each of its neighborhoods hid their own stories, deserving to be told.
