Dust
Gaetano, an 80 year old, lives in the same house where he grew up, and where he has spent his entire life so far. Gaetano is a former amateur motorcyclist who has also won a few races. Gaetano has a son, Michele, but he hasn't seen him for a long time. Years ago, there was a strong quarrel between the two, related to the loss of his grandson, who bore the same name as his grandfather (Gaetano), the son of Michele. For some years now, after the death of his wife, Gaetano has been living completely alone, spending his days at home, taking care of it and keeping it in order, and now simply living the memories that this place keeps. But one day, something unexpected will force him to face the past that he had hidden inside himself, and under the dust of that house.
