Experiencing Interruptions?

Honeymoon

Pollution has gotten out of hand for humanity to the point of replacing it. Everything is covered with garbage, which like a sea floods and engulfs every corner of the planet, from the streets to the countryside, making it impossible to live outside. Two young lovers, divided by this catastrophe, exiled to their respective homes, separated by an unbridgeable distance but united by a red thread, will find a way to meet again.

Director Biography - Mattia Parlati

ENG - Born in ’97, powered by ideas and running short on sleep. A sunny, endlessly curious person with a sharp sense of humor and a strong critical spirit. Every day I try to do something new and to step outside my comfort zone, with a little bit of healthy madness that never leaves me. I studied film in Rome, directed several short movies, and wrote for both cinema and theatre.

ITA - Classe 97. Autore abruzzese con più idee che ore di sonno. Sono una persona solare e molto curiosa, con un grande senso dell'umorismo e un forte spirito critico. Ogni giorno cerco di fare qualcosa di nuovo fuori dalla zona di comfort con un po' di sana follia che non mi abbandona mai. Ho studiato cinema a Roma, realizzato diversi corti e scritto sia per il cinema che per il teatro.

Director Statement

While covid took over the world, a few miles between two iitalian locations in two neighboring regions suddenly seemed an unbridgeable distance. This distance took an entire year away from my romantic relationship until, in order to escape and meet each other, I decide to fantasize about it by inventing another reality with a happy ending. A story inspired by my personal experience during one of the darkest periods in recent years, a dystopian and surreal scenario, winking at virtuality in social relations and the tragic environmental conditions we witness every day.
