A plastic artist invites a director to make a film about him. By doing so, he accepts that is body of work and himself will be the subject of a new artwork. "In Favour of Light" is the result of this meeting: a film by Teresa Villaverde on and for Pedro Cabrita Reis. 52 minutes of total freedom, a true adventure. What does an artist see? And two?
