Figlia unica

It's mid-summer in Terracina. Lavinia is at home with her little brother Elia when Giulio, her summer crush, arrives, eager to spend the day with her. He enters the house and distracts Elia with a treasure hunt, allowing him to have some private time with Lavinia. Finally alone, Giulio and Lavinia move to her bedroom. Giulio shows off his new tattoo, which fascinates Lavinia so much that she feels compelled to touch it. The situation both excites and unnerves her, almost as much as the thought of changing clothes in front of Giulio to go to the beach, leaving Elia alone at home.

Director Biography - Jonathan Lotto, Domitilla Romanazzo

Jonathan Lotto

Born in Vicenza in 2000 and passionate cinephile, he began a personal and self-taught study of cinema during his adolescence. After finishing his higher studies, he worked for three years, before moving to Milan in 2022 and embarking on his academic career at NABA (Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti). Between the first and the second academic year he wrote and directed the debut short film "Figlia Unica" together with Domitilla Romanazzo.

Domitilla Romanazzo
Born in Rome in 2002, she spent her adolescence between the Italian capital and Terracina, the small maritime town which inspired the short film "Figlia Unica". Passionate about cinema since the age of fourteen, she moved to Milan in 2021, abandoning her Law studies to embark on her academic career at the New Academy of Fine Arts, which she still attends. In 2023 she began to design the project "Figlia Unica" in collaboration with Jonathan Lotto, a short film debut for both as directors and screenwriters.
