Synopsis:

In the beginning of the world there were no colours: white was the sky, white was the sea, until God got bored…

In a colourless universe, God created planets. Wondering around the planet earth, quite discontent with this grey and desert land, He spawns man and woman. He leaves anxiously to return and hopefully find the Earth like he dreamed of.
Adam and Eve completely in love filled the land with colour, and with it the smell of the flowers and the sound of the seas was born as well as a vast generation.
One day God comes back to Earth and Eve, frightened with God´s will hides spontaneously half of her sons in a cavern…
«The black colour» in a humorous way paints a fantastic storie of the begining of the world and of mankind.
