A shopping centre in the middle of the mountains, pyramids of products, a glass tower dedicated to skincare, Andorra entices you with the promises of modern happiness. When the night falls, however, the streets fall silent and Andorra only shines for itself. Andorre is a short film by Virgil Vernier with a soundtrack by James Ferraro.
