Experiencing Interruptions?

CREATURES

Una vita vissuta con l'oppressione di essere diversi cercando la libertà nella solitudine.
Questa è la storia di Nora, una donna omosessuale che dopo un grande evento traumatico si ritrova in un mondo ancora più ostile di quello in cui è cresciuta.
Virgilio, suo figlio, la condurrà attraverso questo Inferno terrestre dove un virus ha trasformato le persone in creature senza volto.
I due troveranno rifugio in una casa isolata in mezzo alle montagne e resteranno in attesa che i sopravvissuti li
vengano a salvare.
Sarà proprio l'amore per il figlio a darle la forza per andare avanti.

A life of oppression for being different, seeking freedom through solitude.
This is the story of Nora, a homosexual woman who, after a highly traumatic event, finds herself in an even more hostile world than the one she grew up in.
Her young son Virgilio accompanies her in this earthly hell of faceless creatures who now inhabit the earth.
After finding refuge in an isolated house in the mountains they wait for the survivors to come to save them.
It will be the love for her son that will give her the strength to go on.

NOTE DEL REGISTA/AUTORE
Dopo un'approfondita ricerca ho voluto raccontare ciò che tante donne provano in determinate situazioni drammatiche della vita.
Ciò che vediamo dall'esterno è solo un'immagine riflessa di quello che la nostra mente ci offre ma solo vivendo questi momenti angoscianti si può capire appieno l'oscurità che li avvolge.
L'oppressione individuale, sotto qualunque forma, porta spesso ad estraniarsi dal resto del mondo perché questo problema viene vissuto relegato solo a se stessi.

DIRECTOR'S NOTES
After a thorough research I wanted to tell what so many women feel in certain dramatic situations in life.
What we see from the outside is only a reflection of what our mind offers us but only by experiencing these distressing moments can we fully understand the darkness that surrounds them.
Individual oppression, in any form, often leads to estrangement from the rest of the world because this problem is experienced relegated only to oneself.
