Bernardo Moll Otto always adored the Heroes of Silence and we adored him for being human and because he always had something to say. At his side there was no room for discouragement and last Tuesday, at the 12 de Octubre University Hospital, he wanted to say goodbye to everyone.

Lying on the bed, half jokingly, half seriously, Bernardo pointed his index finger up and put his hands to his heart. It conveyed peace and good humor. Incredible. Bernardo, 47, director and film editor died on Wednesday in Madrid.
