How to compose air? How to compose its melody? AER narrates, in a poetic and conceptual way, the process of how Josué faced the challenge—personal and creative—of composing the official musical work for the Spanish Air Force and Space Force. An unusual assignment for him that—in addition to being of significant importance to his career—would stir up doubts, insecurities, fears, and feelings that seemed nonexistent in Josué until that moment. A very everyday and very simple phrase that resonates with Josué will put an end to all that fear and mark the definitive beginning of AER.

Place and date of filming:: Pirineos, junio 2024
Duration: 53′
The X-Pyr is the hike & fly race that links the Cantabrian and Mediterranean seas, crossing the Pyrenees from coast to coast.
Forty teams met on the beach of Hondarribia and had less than a week to cross the Pyrenees using only paragliding and hiking as their means of travel.
There are no predetermined stages, but there are a series of points that the pilots must cross, located on the highest peaks or in the deepest valleys.
A race that maintains the excitement until the final meters, and subjects participants to extreme situations both on land and in the air.
