INCH

A young man invites some strangers to an orgy, but when he suspects he has been drugged, he calls his transgressive psychiatrist for help. But the disconnected messages and interpretations lead both of them to an extreme situation in which daydreams and reality are confused.

Director Statement

INCH comes from the analysis of situations caused by the impersonality of virtual communication. Its importance lies in reflecting on contemporary human relations' fragility, subverted by metaphors that permeate stereotypes and behavioural taboos. In this way, artistic freedom reaffirms itself as a mechanism devoid of false moralisms and prejudices, awakening critical thinking concerning controversial themes.
